Answer:
The height of the tree is H = 77.06 m
Step-by-step explanation:
From Δ ABC
AB = height of the tree
h = 0.9623 x ------- (1)
From Δ ABD
h = 0.77 (x + 20) ----- (2)
Equating Equation 1 & 2 we get
0.9623 x = 0.77 (x + 20)
0.9623 x = 0.77 x + 15.4
x (0.1923) = 15.4
x = 80.08 m
Thus the height of the tree is given by
H = 0.9623 x
H = 0.9623 × 80.08
H = 77.06 m
Therefore the height of the tree is H = 77.06 m
To find the slope (m), use the slope formula:
and plug in the two points
(4, -4) = (x₁, y₁)
(6, -6) = (x₂, y₂)
[lines usually go from left to right, so the point furthest to the left is the 1st point]
[two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive]
m = -1
