<span>The measure of one angle of a triangle is 108. The measures of the other two angles are in a ratio of 1:5
108 + x + 5x = 180</span>
Answer:
114 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine or construct a right triangle with the 46 ft leg lying on the ground. This is the "adjacent side" of the triangle; it lies immediately adjacent to the 68 degree angle. The side opposite this angle is h, the height of the tree.
The tangent function includes angle, opp side and adj side:
tan 68 degrees = opp / adj = h / (46 ft), and so:
(46 ft)*tan (68 degrees) = opp = h
Then the height of the tree is h = (46 ft)(2.47) = 114 ft
The 3 is distributed to the a+b inside the brackets........
5 gerbils = p dollars
1 gerbil = p/5 dollars
g gerbils = pg / 5 dollars
5/p gerbils = 1 dollar
5d/p gerbils = d dollars
