1. fourteen less than the product of 3 and a number is the sam
: 6 more than twice the number. what is the number?

3x - 14 = 6 + 2x

Add 14 to each side.

3x = 20 + 2x

Subtract 2x from each side

x = 20

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
