Imagine you've a mountain with x meters. Upon the mountain,

gimme another side lad

>you've a mountain

I've what a mountain?

That's the problem. There's just information about the antenna's height.

>>8475403
The only way I could see this working is if you take the angle at the top which is 54 degrees and use that and the side of 20 meters to find the hypotenuse. After finding the hypotenuse use the congruency rule of triangles to put HypA/HypB = BaseA/BaseB and try to solve for that. Other than that unless its some metaphysics sheit I don't know

>>8475403
need to know how far away you are from the mountain, to solve that.

My friend's teacher "solved" this problem in class. Or she's a great mathematician or just stupid.

>>8475418
let me spell that out for you so you can read it properly
>assume you've a mountain
>assume you have a mountain
make sense?

>>8475462
The contraction "you've" should only be used before a past tense verb.

Not enough information to determine

How did i come to acquire said mountain?

If x is the slope length of the mountain you cannot solve it. If x is the height of the mountain you will need the distance d and then (x+20)/d=tan(36).

>My friend's teacher
Why don't you ask him how she did it?

>>8475923
cause he's a stupid too

lol I can tell that Spanish is your first language, your grammar needs some work my dude

and yeah that problem is unsolvable, the teacher is full of shit

>>8476353
Could be that the student did not pay attention and missed some piece of information.

>>8476356
that seems pretty likely, had the adjacent or hypotenuse length been given it would be solvable
