Answer:
5x = 5(10) = 50 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = length of shorter piece then
5x = length of the longer piece
.
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 10 inches (shorter piece)
.
Longer piece:
5x = 5(10) = 50 inches

Ratio and proportion
height :legnth of shadow=56:49 (man's shadow)
we assume the ratio is the same for the tower thing (obelisk)
so
56:49=x:28
conver tto fraction
56/49=x/28
times both sides by 28
1568/49=x
32=x
answer is 32ft
Use trigonometry to solve for x.
The tangent function is defined to be opposite side divided by the adjacent side.
tan(78) = x/10
tan(78)(10) = x
47.0463010948 = x
We now round off to two decimal places. In other words, we round off to the nearest tenths.
47.05 = x
Done!
