The height of the tree is 249.5 feet

<h3>How to determine the height of the tree?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Elevation angle = 80 degrees
  • Shadow length (L) = 44 feet

Let the height of the tree be x.

So, we have:

tan(80) = x/44

Multiply both sides by 44

x = 44 * tan(80)

Evaluate

x = 249.5

Hence, the height of the tree is 249.5 feet

Part A picture above
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

<em>Part A </em>C = (10,5)<em>  Part B </em>C. D'(0,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Part A</em>

Since c is at the point (2,1) in relation to the origin, we can multiply those distances by our scale factor of 5

(2,1) * 5 = (10,5)

The new point C is going to be (10,5)

<em>Part B</em>

If you dilate with a factor of 5 -- relative to the origin -- you have to multiply the distance from <em>the origin</em> by 5.

In this case, point D is already on the y axis, so it's x value wouldn't be affected. Point D is currently 2 units away from (0,0), so we can multiply 2*5 to get 10 -- our ending point is (0,10)

One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg ha
anastassius [24]
Solutions

To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c². 

Given 

One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg has a length of 10x yards.

First leg (24 yards) would be α 

Second leg would be β

Hypotenuse (74 yards) would be c

Now we have points α β c.  

a² (24) + β² ( x ) = c² (74) 

Calculations 

c² = α² + β²

74² = 24²+ β² 

<span>5476 = 576 + </span>β² 

5476 - 576 = β²
<span> </span>
<span>4900 = </span>β² 

→√4900 
<span> </span>
β<span> = 70 yards 
</span>
<span>70 = 10x 
</span>
<span>x = 70</span>÷<span>10 = 7 yards  
</span>
The second leg = 7 yards

48/53

Steps

15 inches = 1.25 feet

Ratio = 12 : 1.25

Simplified = 9.6 : 1

9.6 + 1 = 10.6

9.6/10.6 = 48/53

Checking...

12 feet = 144 inches

Ratio = 144 : 15

144 + 15 = 159

144/159 = 48/53
