URGENT WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO FIRST RESPONDER You are visiting a Redwood tree forest and want to verify the height of one of th

e trees. You measure its shadow along the ground and use trig to calculate the height. The shadow measures 500 feet and you calculate the angle of elevation to be 35 degrees. This forms a right triangle. a. What is the measure of the other acute angle? b. What is the height of the tree? c. You are standing at the end of the tree's shadow and want to take a picture of the tree but your camera can only focus at distance less than 500 feet. When you hold the camera to take the picture it is 5 feet above the ground. What is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the tree? d. Can you take a clear picture of the top of the tree from where you are standing?

Answer:

a) 55 degrees

b) 350 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

a- the sum of angles of triangle=180

( since it is right angle , one angle is 90 degrees), x be the acute angle

x+35+90=180

x=180-125

x=55 degrees

b) tan 35= height of a tree/ length of a shadow

height of a tree=tan35*500=350.103≅350 ft ( rounded to nearest tens)

c)  hypotenuse²=350.1²+500²

c=√350.1²+500²

c=610.385 ft

d) no because the distance is more than 500
