You will notice that 48°, x, and x lie upon a straight line. The sum of those angles must then be equal to 180°. Which means:
48+x+x=180
48+2x=180
2x=132
x=66°
Step-by-step explanation:
- y=3/4x+(-5)
- -4x+4(3/4x+-5)=-20
-4x+3x-20=-20
-x=-20+20
-x=0
x=0
y=3/4×{0}-5
y=-5
Answer: A) 45 ft
Step-by-step
The yardstick is 3ft tall since 1 yard = 3ft. It is 3 times as tall as its shadow. The tree has a 15ft long shadow. The tree should also be 3 times as tall as its shadow. The tree is 15*3ft tall, so it is 45ft tall. I attached an image of the diagram I made.
