In both cases,
(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)
So we have
10.
(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)
11.
(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)
Solve for slope first:
m =
m =
= -3
then solve for b in y = mx + b
8 = -3(-3) + b
b = -1
y = -3x - 1
m =
m =
then solve for b in y = mx + b
8 = -3(-3) + b
b = -1
y = -3x - 1
Answer:
<h3>20.6 ft</h3>Step-by-step explanation:
You must use the trigonometric function.
In this case, it will be tangent.
We have
Substitute:
<em>multiply both sides by 20</em>
Tree height is r + 5.
Therefore
