Answer:x=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Two points co-ordinates are given
A=(5,-8)
B=(5,4)
let other point be C =(x,y)
Area of triangle is given by


A=20-5y+40-8x+5y-4x
A=60-8x
and A=48 square unit
48=60-8x
x=1.5
As area is independent of y therefore at x=1.5 any value of y will give area of 48 square unit
Answer:
44.81 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
In the right triangle ACD
Find the length side AC (height of the small fire tower)
---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)
Solve for AC


step 2
In the right triangle ABE
Find the length side AB
---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)
solve for AB


step 3
How many feet off the ground is the squirrel?
Subtract the length side segment AB from the length side segment AC
so

(7-3+4^3/2) / (9-5)
7-3+64/2) / 4
(7-3 + 32) / 4
(4 + 32) / 4
36/4 = 9
48 + 72
24(2 + 3)
Answer:
Y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the two triangles are congruent you can set the two expressions equal to each other and solve from their.
step 1 ) 8Y = 6Y + 8
step 2 ) isolate the variable to one side 8Y-6Y= 8 => 2Y = 8
step 3 ) solve for Y 2Y/2 = 8/2
Solution Y=4
