To the nearest tenth of a meter, the height above of the cheetah to the ground is 123.0 meters.

<h3>What is a right angle triangle?</h3>

A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides can be found using pythagoras theorem or trigonometric ratios.

The distance of the telescope from the base of the cliff is 178 meters and it is the adjacent side of the triangle formed.

Therefore,

tan 34° = opposite / adjacent

tan 34° = opposite / 178

cross multiply

opposite side = 178 tan 34

opposite side = 120.062515998

Therefore,  the height above the cheetah to the ground is as follows:

height =  120.062515998 + 2.9 = 122.962515998

height = 123.0 meters.

A rope is 66 feet long. It is cut into two pieces such that one piece is half the length of the other. What is the length of the
dedylja [7]
So if one bit of the length, is half the size of the other bit then we can make the following equation, for x being the length of rope:

x + 2x = 66
3x = 66
x = 22

That is the length, of the smaller one (half the big one), so 2x = 44. Hence d) is your answer.

Hope I helped!
