Tom sees an enormous thundercloud approaching

Mathematics
1 answer:

Using the slope concept, it is found that the thundercloud is 6.43 miles above the ground.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem, we have that:

  • The angle is of 65º.
  • The vertical distance is the height h.
  • The horizontal distance is of 3 miles, as the sound takes 5 seconds to travel 1 mile, and it took 15 seconds.

Hence:

tan(65º) = h/3.

h = 3 x tan(65º)

h = 6.43 miles.

The thundercloud is 6.43 miles above the ground.

I need help, the options are: Corresponding Angles, Vertical Angles, Alternate interior angles, linear pair, alternate exterior
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

✔️ <1 and <3 => Vertical angles

✔️<2 and <6 => alternate exterior angles

✔️<2 and <4 => corresponding angles

✔️<3 and <7 => alternate interior angles.

✔️<4 and <3 => consecutive interior angles.

✔️<7 and <6 => linear pair angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️ <1 and <3 are opposite angles formed when two straight lines intersect. They both share the same vertex. Thus, they are vertical angles, which are congruent to each other.

<1 and <3 are vertical angles.

✔️<2 and <6 are alternate exterior angles.

<2 and <6 both lie outside the straight lines cut across by the transversal, and they also lie in the side of the transversal alternating each other

✔️<2 and <4 are corresponding angles.

They both take the same position on the same side of the transversal.

✔️<3 and <7 are alternate interior angles.

They are alternating angles along the transversal that are located just within the two lines intersected by the transversal.

✔️<4 and <3 are consecutive interior angles.

They are angles on the same side of the transversal but lie within the two straight lines intercepted by the transversal.

✔️<7 and <6 are linear pair angles.

They are angles on a straight line, and sum up to 180°.
