Answer:

The height of the tree is H = 77.06 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From Δ ABC

AB = height of the tree

\tan 43.9 = \frac{AB}{BC}

\tan 43.9 = \frac{h}{x}

h = 0.9623 x ------- (1)

From Δ ABD

\tan 37.6 = \frac{h}{20+ x}

h = 0.77 (x + 20) ----- (2)

Equating Equation  1 & 2 we get

0.9623 x =  0.77 (x + 20)

0.9623 x = 0.77 x + 15.4

x (0.1923) = 15.4

x = 80.08 m

Thus the height of the tree is given by

H = 0.9623 x

H = 0.9623 × 80.08

H = 77.06 m

Therefore the height of the tree is H = 77.06 m

Which graph represents y=-2x
seraphim [82]

A graph which represents the linear function y = -2x is: graph B.

<h3>What is a graph?</h3>

In Mathematics, a graph can be defined as a type of chart that is typically used for the graphical representation of data points or ordered pairs on both the horizontal and vertical lines of a cartesian coordinate, which are the x-axis and y-axis respectively.

Generally speaking, the graph of any proportional relationship is characterized by a straight line with the data points passing through the origin (0, 0) because as the values on the x-axis (x-coordinate) either increases or decreases, the values on the y-axis (y-coordinate) increases or decreases simultaneously.

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the relationship between x-values and y-values in the graph of y = -2x is proportional as it passes through the origin (0, 0).
