Answer:

B) 43 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB represents the height of pole and C represents the point on the ground ( shown in the below diagram ),

We need to find : Measure of AB.

Since, angle of depression from the top of a flag pole to a point on the ground is 30°,

By the alternative interior angle theorem,

m∠ACB = 30°,

∵ m∠ABC = 90°,

By the trigonometric ratio,

\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{BC}

We have BC = 75 ft,

\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{75}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{AB}{75}

\implies AB = \frac{75}{\sqrt{3}}= 43.3012\approx 43

Hence, the pole would be 43 ft tall ( approx )

Answer:

Height of flag pole to the nearest foot is 43 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram we have flag pole AB and C is the point on the ground.

It is given that angle of depression is 30°

and the distance of the point C from the base B is 75 feet

so we have

BC= 75 feet  

∠C = 30°

AB= h feet

now in right ΔABC

tan C = \frac{opposite \ side }{base} \\tan C=\frac{AB}{BC}

now we plug AB= h , ∠C= 30° and BC =75

tan 30= \frac{h}{75}

75 tan30 = h            ( multiply both sides by 75)

h= 75 tan 30 =75 (0.5773)\\ h= 43.3 feet\\

Height of flag pole to the nearest foot is

h= 43 feet

What is the value of x? inscribed angles
Flura [38]

The value of x is 84°.

Solution:

Measure of intercepted arc = 168°

Measure of angle x = ?

<u>Tangent-chord relationship:</u>

<em>If a tangent and a chord intersect at a point, then the measure of each angle formed is half of the measure of its intercepted arc.</em>

$\Rightarrow \angle x = \frac{1}{2}\times 168^\circ

$\Rightarrow \angle x = 84^\circ

The value of x is 84°.

Bananas are $.59 a pound what is the constant of proportionality
hichkok12 [17]
The constant proportionality is the proportionality of 59. Because it is the price, you just move the decimal point two places over to the left.
If you do this correctly you will get .59

If you triple 4 and subtract to each day how many days until you have zero
Mrrafil [7]
Do you mean subtract two each day? If so...
4x3=12 and 12 divided by 2 is 6 so it would take six days to reach zero
or
you could manually subtract two from 6 each days as in 12-2=10 (1 day), 10-2=8 (2 days), and so on...
