A palm tree is supported by two guy wires as shown in the diagram below. Which trig expression can be used to find the height on

the tree where the top guy wire attaches if the base of the wire is four feet from the base of the tree? A sin (30° + 45°) B cos (75° – 45°) C tan (75° – 45°) D tan (30° + 45°)

Answer:

D. tan(30^\circ+45^\circ) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given situation can be represented as a figure attached in answer area.

B is the base of tree.

C is the base of wires.

A and D are the end of 2 wires supporting the tree.

\angle DCB =45^\circ\\\angle ACB =75^\circ\\

Here, we need to find the Height of the tree which is represented the by side AB.

and we are given that bases of wires and tree base are at a distance 4 ft.

i.e. side BC = 4 ft

If we look at the \triangle ABC, we are given the base BC and the \angle ACB, and the perpendicular is to be find out.

We can use trigonometric identity:

tan\theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tan 75^\circ = \dfrac{AB}{BC}\\\bold {tan (45+30)^\circ }= \dfrac{AB}{4}\\\Rightarrow AB = \bold {tan (45+30)^\circ } \times 4 = 14.93\ ft

Hence, D. tan(30^\circ+45^\circ) is the correct answer.

Complete the inequality statement <br><br> 7/10 ___ 11/20 <br><br> &gt; &lt; =
densk [106]
To start, give each fraction a common denominator by multiplying the 7/10 by two to get 14/20, an equivalent but not simplified fraction. now compare 14/20 and 11/20. 14/20 is greater than 11/20, so 7/10 > 11/20.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y (5,4) -2x +3 and passes through the point (5,4).
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

y = -2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Our line is parallel to this line, so it has the same slope, but a different  y-intercept, so set up the equation...

  y = -2x + b      

We are given a  point (x, y) of (5, 4), so plug that in and solve for b.  

 4 = -2(5) + b

    4 = -10 + b      (simplify)

        14 = b      (add 10 to both sides to isolate b)

    So the equation of our line is  y = -2x + 14
