We'll use the Pythagorean Theorem
130^2 = side^2 +50^2
side ^ 2 = 16,900 -2,500
side ^ 2 = 14,400
side = square root (14,400)
side = 120 feet
64 feet squared because 4 cubes
I think it’s 25???? i tried haha
Answer:
h=404.89
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for side h, which is opposite of the observer. We know that the side adjacent to the observer is 500 feet. We also know that the angle from the observer to the bird is 39°. Because we have these values, SOH CAH TOA tells us that we should use tangent, opposite over adjacent.
We can set up our equation as follows:
tan(39°)=h/500
We can then solve for h:
500*tan(39°)=h
h=404.89
The slope is 1. The picture will show you why.
