#

its alr if u continue, im working on something else

indigo sage
#

waiiit

remote comet

#

why by 47.2?

indigo sage
remote comet
indigo sage
#

thats allowed? writing 47degrees12minutes like 47.12?

#

or are you just making it look easier

remote comet

k

@indigo sage x = ((x + 38) * tan(35.833°)) / tan(47.2°)
x ≈ 59.49 meters
solve 😉

indigo sage
#

yea i got that ans too but its apparently not correct

remote comet
indigo sage
#

my answer booklet telling me x = 76.69

remote comet
indigo sage
#

tell that to the company who made this book :/

#

still trynna figure it out?

remote comet
indigo sage
#

alr ill check in with my teacher soon

#

bro my calculator is high on some shit

#

i was solving another equation, put the things into my calculator and it said error

remote comet
#

x = (38 * 0.700207) / (1.147754 - 0.700207)
x = (26.609766) / (0.447547)
x ≈ 59.49
@indigo sage

indigo sage
#

switches to my cas, couldnt solve it, then switches backed to my main one and it suddenly worked

#

wtf

indigo sage
indigo sage
remote comet
#

x = (38 * tan(35.833°)) / (tan(47.2°) - tan(35.833°))
x = (38 * tan(35.833°)) / (tan(47.2°) - tan(35.833°))
x = (38 * 0.700207) / (1.147754 - 0.700207)
x = (26.609766) / (0.447547)
x = 59.49542

urm

#

yea ill take a look

#

alrr

#

where did u get 35.833 and 47.2

remote comet
indigo sage
#

how do you do that pls tell

#

i neeeeeeed this information

remote comet
indigo sage
#

alr ty

#

why two 35.833

#

i divided both sides by 47.2

#

but idk the next steps

remote comet
indigo sage
#

yea bro idk why theres two " tan(35.833°))"

remote comet
indigo sage
#

:/

#

ahem

remote comet
#

x = (38 * tan(35.833°)) / (tan(47.2°) - tan(35.833°))
x = (38 * 0.700207) / (tan(47.2°) - 0.700207)
x = (26.609766) / (tan(47.2°) - 0.700207)
x ≈ 76.6918

remote comet
#

i'm dumb

indigo sage
remote comet
#

you're book is correct sorry..

indigo sage
#

but please tell me why theres two " tan(35.833°))" in the equation 😭

indigo sage
remote comet
#

wdym

indigo sage
#

see

#

x = (38 * tan(35.833°)) / (tan(47.2°) - tan(35.833°))

remote comet
#

yeah

indigo sage
#

theres two tan(35.833°))

#

in the equation

remote comet
indigo sage
#

i dont get why theres a minus " - tan(35.833°))"

#

so it starts off like xtan(47.2)=(x+38)tan(35.833)

#

then its this? x = (38 * tan(35.833°)) / (tan(47.2°) - tan(35.833°))

#

i have so many questions

#

its best if you can show me on paper

# indigo sage i dont get why theres a minus " - tan(35.833°))"

The subtraction of tan(35.833°) in the denominator is necessary because the expression for h involves subtracting two terms: x * tan(47.2°) and (x + 38) * tan(35.833°). So, to isolate x, we need to manipulate the equation to get rid of tan(35.833°) from the denominator, which involves subtracting it.

indigo sage
#

my points is that its not in the demonimator in the first place
xtan(47.2)=(x+38)tan(35.833)
becomes x=(x+38)tan(35.833)/(47.2)
right?

#

nah bruh i cant understand

#

and x = (26.609766) / (tan(47.2°) - 0.700207)
doesnt equal x ≈ 76.6918

#

1.i dont get why the x dissapears
2.why would you need to subtract tan(35.833°) from the demoninator if there is none
3.my calculations doesnt even show that
x = (38 * tan(35.833°)) / (tan(47.2°) - tan(35.833°))
x = (38 * 0.700207) / (tan(47.2°) - 0.700207)
x = (26.609766) / (tan(47.2°) - 0.700207)
x ≈ 76.6918
is true
