Answer:

40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The deck is at a height of 520 ft. She sees her friend on the ground below at an angle of depression of 85.6 degrees.

To Find : What is the distance between the two? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Solution :

Refer the attached figure

Height of deck =AB =520 ft.

Angle of depression ∠C = 85.6°

We are supposed to find length of BC i.e. distance between two.

We will use trigonometric ratios :

tan \theta = \frac{perpendicular}{base}

tan 85.6^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BC}

12.99615= \frac{520}{BC}

BC= \frac{520}{12.99615}

BC= 40

Thus the distance between two is 40 feet

Let the distance between them be d, then
tan 85.6 = 520 / d
d = 520 / tan 85.6 = 520 / 13 = 40.0 ft

Two vertical angles are complementary. Statement is always, sometimes, or never true. Explain your reasoning
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

depends upon the degree of the angle

Step-by-step explanation:

vertically opposite angles are always equal like

80 = 80 sum is equal to 160 degrees not equal to 90

45 = 45 , sums equal to 90 degrees ,equal to 90

30 = 30 sum is equal to 60 degrees, not equal to 90

so we can say it depends what is the no of degrees if it is  45 only we can say  the vertically opposite angles are  complementary angle

Select all the values of x so g(x) is not a function.
alexdok [17]
The answer is 6 and 9
Step-by-step explanation: We are trying to figure out what makes the chart not a function. A function is is one input equals one output.
so all you have to do is look at the x and look at the number that is already there and just make it repeat.
