Answer:

The height of the tree is 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h ----> the height of the tree

we know that

The tree casts a shadow that is 27 feet long

Your friend is 5 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 4.5 feet long

so

using proportion

Find out the height of the tree

\frac{h}{27}=\frac{5}{4.5}\\\\h=27(5)/4.5\\\\h=30\ ft

Alex73 [517]

Answer:  3528.25

Step-by-step explanation:Make a sideview sketch

you should have 2 triangles, one right-angled containing the height and a scalene triangle with angles 24° , 153° (the supplement of 27°) and 3°

the side opposite the 3° angle is 1000

by let the side opposite the 24° be x, (also the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle)

x/sin24 = 1000/sin3

x = 1000sin24/sin3

let the height of the mountain be h

sin 27 = h/x

h = x sin27 = (1000sin24/sin3)(sin27)

= 3528.25

Answer:

A) Corresponding Angles Theorem (They correspond to each other)

B) If <XBC = 55 Then <XCB = 55

(Because they both are opposite to equal sides)

<u><em>Now, Finding <BXC:</em></u>

=> <BXC = 180-55-55 (Angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees)

=> <BXC = 70 degrees
