We need to find a tree such that the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to top of the tree is 40 degrees.

The length of the shadow is the adjacent side and  is 35.
The height of the tree is the opposite side.  Let it be x.

Tan ratio = opposite/adjacent

tan(40) =  x/35
x = 35*tan(40) = 29.37

Answer: Height of the tree is 29 feet

Joe tracked the height of his Dalmatian puppy from age 13 weeks to 25 weeks. He graphed the data and determined the line of best
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

22.5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1.12x + 28.78 represents the height of the puppy.  Here that height is 54 cm:

Then 54 = y = 1.12x + 28.78

Combining the constants, we get 1.12x = 25.22.  Dividing both sides by 1.12, x turns out to be 22.5 weeks.

Angle K = angle M

(4x-1)=(2x+27)

4x-2x=27+1

2x=28

x=14

K=4x-1 then 4(14)-1
55 degrees
M=2x+27 then 2(14) +27
55 degrees
K+M+L =180
55+55+L=180
110+L=180
L=70 degrees
Therefore K=55 degrees M=55 degrees L=70 degrees

8. In AABC, LA is a right angle and mzB = 45°. Find BC.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

BC = 11\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin45° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , then

sin 45° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{11}{BC} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ( cross- multiply )

BC = 11\sqrt{2}
