I don’t understand the equation. What am I solving for?
A triangle's angles will always equal up to 180. Since you already have to of the angles, you will add them up together. 30+20=50. Then, you take 180 and subtract it by the sum of the two previous angles. 180-50=130. Now you know the last angle is 130. You also know that the missing angle is also 130. The reason for that is because the two angles are the exact same if you look at it.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A road is perpendicular to a highway leading to a farmhouse d miles away.
An automobile passes through the point of intersection with a constant speed = r mph
Let x be the distance of automobile from the point of intersection and distance between the automobile and farmhouse is 'h' miles.
Then by Pythagoras theorem,
h² = d² + x²
By taking derivative on both the sides of the equation,
When automobile is 30 miles past the intersection,
For x = 30
Since
Therefore,
the answer is 18 yes you are correct
