you are hiking along a river and see a tall tree on thhe opposite bank. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tre

e and find it to be 61 degree. You then walk 50 feet directly away from the tree and measure the angle of elevation. If the second measurement is 49.5 degree, how tall is the tree?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

tan61 = \frac{y}{x}

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft

Answer:

149 m

Explanation:

The distances across the lake is forming a triangle.  

let the distance between the point and the left side be 'x'

and the distance between the point and the right be 'y'

and the distance across the lake be 'z' and the angle opposite to 'z' be 'Z' given:

∠Z = 83°

x = 105 m

y = 119 m

Now, applying the Law of Cosines, we get  

z² = x² + y² - 2xycos(Z)  

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

z² = 105² + 119² - 2×105×119×cos(83°)

or

z = √22140.48

or

z = 148.796 m ≈ 149 m

The point is 149 m across the lake

Which way does current always flow?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Electrons move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery.
