Shahida has seen an eagle landing at the top of the tree in her backyard. She places a camera on a tripod a distance of 12 feet

from the
trunk of the tree. She angles the camera to the top of the tree so she can get a picture of the eagle. The height of the tree is 31 feet. The
height of the tripod is 4 feet.

The angle of elevation from the tripod to the top of the tree is about 66 degrees

<h3>What is trigonometric ratio?</h3>

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle.

Let Ф represent the angle of elevation. Since the tripod is at a height of 4 feet, hence:

tanФ = (31 - 4) / 12

Ф = 66 degrees

The angle of elevation from the tripod to the top of the tree is about 66 degrees

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to −x+2y=4 and passes through the point (−2, 1) ?
Elza [17]

Answer:

y=-2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our equation is in standard form Ax+By=C we must first manipulate the equation so that we have it in the slope-intercept form such that y=mx+b.  Therefore:

-x+2y=4\\2y=x+4\\\\y=\frac{x+4}{2}\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+2

Therefore, our slope is 1/2 and our y-intercept is 2.  Now in order to determine a perpendicular line to the one stated above we must then get the negative inverse of our slope meaning \frac{1}{2}=-2 (negative reciprocal).  Now we must use the point slope formula:

y=m(x-x_1)+y_1

Where m is the slope, x1 is -2 and y1 is 1 (because of the ordered pair given). And so:

y=-2(x-(-2))+1\\\\y=-2(x+2)+1\\\\y=-2x-4+1\\\\y=-2x-3

Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 is y=-2x-3.

In parallelogram ABCD, the measure of angle A=3x and the measure of angle B =x+10. What is the measure of angle D?
Alinara [238K]

Answer: 52.5

Step-by-step explanation: 2(3x+10)+2(x+10)=360 because all the sides of a rhombus equal 360 and alternate sides are equal

8x+20=360

-20=-20

8x/8=340/8

x=42.5

x+10. 42.5+10=52.5

D=52.5

Citrus2011 [14]

y+2 = 3y-4 =

y+6 = 3y

6 =2y

y = 3


y+2 = 3+2 = 5

3y-4 = 3(3)-4 = 5

 5+5 =10


2y-3 = 2(3) - 3 = 3

3+3 = 6


10+6 = 16 miles

answer is C

The ages of the people who came to a birthday party are shown below. Which statements must be true according to the histogram? C
spayn [35]
From the histogram it can be seen that
1.) the data is not qualitative. (<span>Qualitative data is typically descriptive <span>data and is not measured by a number but age is measured by a number).
2.) </span></span><span>The data is not skewed right. (</span><span>For a right skewed distribution, the tail of the distribution on the right hand (positive) side is longer than on the left hand side).
3.) </span><span>There were 31 people at the party. (The total number of people at the party from the histogram is given by the sum of the heights of the bars of the histogram = 5 + 13 + 8 + 3 + 2 = 31).
4.) </span><span>There were children at the party. (From the histogram, there were 5 poeple aged 20 and below, which we can describe as children).
5.) </span><span>The most common age of the attendees was not 13 years old. (The mode (i.e. most occuring frequency) of a distribution is represented by the height of the tallest bar of the histogram. From the histogram, the tallest bar represents the ages between 21 to 40)
6.) </span><span>The majority of the people at the party were less than 61 years old. (From the histogram, there were 5 + 13 + 8 = 26 people below the age of 61 in the party and 3 + 2 = 5 people above the age of 60 in the party).

Therefore, the </span><span>statements that must be true according to the histogram are
</span><span>There were 31 people at the party.
</span><span>There were children at the party.
and
</span><span>The majority of the people at the party were less than 61 years old.</span>
