Answer:

B, 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a triangle. Let x be the height of the flagpole. From the picture, we can see that tan30 = x/43. x = 43tan30 = 25 ft.

A. It is not possible to determine if the triangles are congruent
kirill [66]

Answer:

C. ∆ABD ≅ ∆CBD by the SSS Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

We can prove that ∆ABD and ∆CBD congruent by the SSS Postulate.

The SSS postulate states that of three sides in one triangle are congruent to three corresponding sides in another, therefore, the two triangles are congruent.

From the diagram shown,

AB ≅ CB,

AD ≅ CD

BD = BD

We have three sides in ∆ABD that are congruent to three corresponding sides in ∆CBD.

Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆CBD by the SSS Postulate

Find the length of side y
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=76.3359\ cm\approx76.3\ cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use cosine:

cosine=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

We have

adjacent=73\ cm\\hypotenuse=y

and the angle 17°.

\cos17^o\approx0.9563

Substitute:

\dfrac{73}{y}=0.9563             <em>convert the decimal to the fraction</em>

\dfrac{73}{y}=\dfrac{9563}{10000}          <em>cross multiply</em>

9563y=730000           <em>divide both sides by 9563</em>

y=\dfrac{730000}{9563}

y\approx76.3359
