An object dropped from the top of the leaning tower of pisa lands 17 feet from the base

Cos x=

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: An object dropped from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa lands 17 feet from the base. Picture is attached.

Which equations should be used to determine the angle (x) that the leaning Tower of Pisa makes with the ground?

Given : The hypotenuse of the triangle formed by Pisa tower is 179 ft.

             The Base or adjacent side of the triangle is 17 ft.

Now, using the cosine rule of trigonometry to know the angle x.

As we know, cosine

Cos(x)=

∴ The equation to determine the angle x is that the leaning tower of pisa makes with the ground.

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
