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.

Triangle ABC is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the origin to create triangle A'B'C'.
frozen [14]

Note: Consider we need to find the vertices of the triangle A'B'C'

Given:

Triangle ABC is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the origin to create triangle A'B'C'.

Triangle A,B,C with vertices at A(-3, 6), B(2, 9), and C(1, 1).

To find:

The vertices of the triangle A'B'C'.

Solution:

If triangle ABC is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the origin to create triangle A'B'C', then

(x,y)\to (y,-x)

Using this rule, we get

A(-3,6)\to A'(6,3)

B(2,9)\to B'(9,-2)

C(1,1)\to C'(1,-1)

Therefore, the vertices of A'B'C' are A'(6,3), B'(9,-2) and C'(1,-1).

Elke lives mile from 1/10school. Haresh lives 2/3 mile from school.
lawyer [7]

Answer: 17/30

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Elke lives 1/10 mile from school while Haresh lives 2/3 mile from school.

The closer to school Elke is than Haresh will be:

= 2/3 - 1/10

We can change the fractions to have thesame denominator which will be:

= 2/3 - 1/10

= 20/30 - 3/30

= 17/30

The distance between them is 17/30 miles
