Mr. and Mrs. McClurrie are debating on whether or not to remove a tall tree in their front yard. Mr. McClurrie is concerned that

the tree could fall during a storm and land on their home. Mrs. McClurrie disagrees. She thinks the tree poses no danger to their home and wants to keep the tree because of the wonderful shade it provides. They decide to estimate the height of the tree using special right triangles. They stood 25 feet from the base of the tree to create a 30° angle from the ground to the top of the tree. If their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, could the McClurrie's wait a few more years before cutting down the tree or does it pose a risk now?

Tanα=y/x

y=xtanα, we are told that x=25ft and α=30°

y=25tan30° ft

y≈14.43 ft  (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

Since their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, it poses no risk right now.

Which equation is correct regarding the measure of ∠MNP?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The measure of anle MNP is

  • m ∠ MNP =  (x - y)/2

Explanation:

The image attached shows the figure corresponding to this question.

The <em>angle MNP</em>, wich is also the angle LNP, is formed by the intersection of a secant and a tanget to a circle.

Then, you can use the theorem:

  • the angle formed by a secant and a tangent to a circle that intersect outside the circle is half the difference of the major arc minus the minor arc.

The major arc formed is identified with the letter x and the minor arc is identified witht he letter y. Thus, the measure of the angle MNP is half the differenc x - y:

  • m ∠ MNP = (x - y)/2
