This is the concept of geometry, the height of the tree will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
theta=24
opposite=h
adjacent=26m
thus;
tan 24=h/26
hence;
h=26tan24
h=10.29
=10 m

Construct a circle through points x y and z
faust18 [17]
1. Open the compass to a little more than halfway across the line segment XY. Draw an arc centered at the first endpoint X across the line segment XY. Without changing the width of the compass, place the compass tip on the second endpoint Y. Draw a second arc across the line segment XY.
2. Line up a straightedge with the intersection of the arcs above the line XY, and the intersection of the arcs below the line. Draw a line connecting these two points. The line you draw is a perpendicular bisector. It bisects the line XY at a right angle.
3. Use a compass and straightedge to construct the bisectors of the line YZ as you did with the first line segment. Extend the bisectors long enough that they intersect. The point of their intersection is the center of the circle.
4. The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to any point on the circle’s edge. To set the width, place the tip of the compass on the center of the circle, and open the compass to any one of your original points.Swing the compass around 360 degrees so that it draws a complete circle. The circle should pass through all three points.

the slope of a line passing through h (-2, 5) is -3/4. Which ordered pair represents a point on this line? ​
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope of the given points with the point (- 2,  5 )

If the slope is - \frac{3}{4} then the point is on the line

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 1)

m = \frac{-1-5}{6+2} = \frac{-6}{8} = - \frac{3}{4} ← point (6, - 1) is on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 8)

m = \frac{8-5}{2+2} = \frac{3}{4} ← point (2, 8) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 1)

m = \frac{1-5}{-5+2} = \frac{-4}{-3} = \frac{4}{3} ← point (- 5, 1) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1)

m = \frac{1-5}{1+2} = - \frac{4}{3} ← point (1, 1) is not on the line

Thus the point on the line is (6, - 1 ) → A
