The answer would be
7/11=0.6363636364
Infinitely many solutions means that you have the same thing on both sides of the equation no matter what value of x you plug in, right?
We just need both sides to be 3x then, correct?
If a were equal to 3 and b were equal to 0, we'd have
3x = (3)x + 0
Which is essentially 3x = 3x
So that means a = 3 and b = 0 must work!
Let's say x = 5
3(5) = 3(5) + 0
15 = 15 + 0
15 = 15
That means that a = 3 and b = 0 is your final answer :)
Since Ryan is 5 feet tall, we will assume that the height of the cell-phone tower is x + 5.
Since the given is 54 degrees.
Tan 54degrees = x/80(feet)
x=80(tan54)
x=110
To finalize the answer, we will add up the height of the cell-phone tower to the answer.
110 + 5 = 115 feet
So the answer to the question is that the height of the cell-phone tower is 115 ft.
