From a point 55 feet away from the foot of a tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 60°. What is the height of the tower?

The height of the tower is approximately 95.263 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The distance from the foot of the tower where the angle of elevation is measured = 55 feet

The angle of elevation to the top of the tower from a point 55 feet from the foot of the tower, θ = 60°

Therefore, by trigonometric ratio, we have;

Therefore, we have;

The height of the tower = 55 feet × tan (60°) = 55 × √3 feet ≈ 95.263 feet.

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
