Answer:
150 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram shown gives us a picture of two similar right triangle.
The height of the man is similar to the height of the platform.
To find the height of the platform, multiply the height of the man by the scale factor.
Scale factor = the ratio of any corresponding sides of two similar triangles.
Scale factor = 100 ft ÷ 4 ft = 25
Height of man = 6ft
Therefore, height of platform = 6 ft × 25 = 150 ft
Note that the 2nd equation can be re-written as y=8x-10.
According to the second equation, y=x^2+12x+30.
Equate these two equations to eliminate y:
8x-10 = x^2+12x+30
Group all terms together on the right side. To do this, add -8x+10 to both sides. Then 0 = x^2 +4x +40. You must now solve this quadratic equation for x, if possible. I found that this equation has NO REAL SOLUTIONS, so we must conclude that the given system of equations has NO REAL SOLUTIONS.
If you have a graphing calculator, please graph 8x-10 and x^2+12x+30 on the same screen. You will see two separate graphs that do NOT intersect. This is another way in which to see / conclude that there is NO REAL SOLUTION to this system of equations.
