Explanations not just answers: Sarah measures the angle of elevation to the top of a tree as 23.6 degrees from the point which i

s 250 m from its base. Her eye level, where the angle measurement was taken is 1.5 m above the ground. Assuming the ground to be horizontal, find the height of the tree

See the attached diagram.

In the right triangle, x is opposite the 23.6 degree angle, and the adjacent side is 250 m.  This suggests using the tangent ratio.

\frac{x}{250}=\tan 23.6 ^\circ \\ x=250 \cdot \tan 23.6^\circ \approx 109.2

Finally, to get the height of the tree, add Sarah's height, 1.5 m.

The tree is approximately 110.7m tall.

Answer:

A. y = –5x – 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line parallel to  y = − 5 x + 3 .

y = − 5 x − 27                           PARALLEL

...................................................................................................................................................

Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line perpendicular to  y = − 5 x + 3 .

y = 1 /5 x + 21 /5                    PERPENDICULAR

Compare and contrast the perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors of a triangle. How are they alike? How are they different?
AleksandrR [38]

<span>1 perpendicular bisector divides 1 side of the triangle into two equal lengths at a 90 degree angle. So if there's is three perpendicular bisectors, then it splits all three sides the triangles into equal lengths.

Angle bisectors splits an angle of a triangle into two even degrees.  
 </span>

<span>
</span>

<span>EX: if it is an equilateral triangle, each angle will be sixty degrees. Therefore, ONE angle bisector will split ONE of the angles into even degrees of thirty degrees. </span>
