Answer:

The slope of line p is 1/3. The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the slope of line p be m.

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1 and the slope of two  parallel lines are same.

m_1\times m_2=-1

It is given that lines m and p are perpendicular. It means the product of slopes of m and p is -1. The slope of line m is -3.

-3\times m=-1

Divide both sides by -3.

m=\frac{-1}{-3}

m=\frac{1}{3}

Therefore the slope of line p is 1/3. The correct option is B.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals

so if m1 = -3

the perpendicular line has a slope of 1/3

never [62]

The measure of ∠BAF is 54°.

Solution:

DF and CE are intersecting lines.

m∠EAF = 72° and AB bisects ∠CAF.

∠EAF and ∠DAC are vertically opposite angles.

Vertical angle theorem:

<em>If two lines are intersecting, then vertically opposite angles are congruent.</em>

∠DAC ≅ ∠EAF

m∠DAC = 72°

<em>Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°</em>

m∠DAE + m∠EAF = 180°

m∠DAE + 72° = 180°

Subtract 72° from both sides.

m∠DAE = 108°

∠CAF and ∠DAE are vertically opposite angles.

⇒ m∠CAF = m∠DAE

⇒ m∠CAF = 108°

AB bisects ∠CAF means ∠CAB = ∠BAF

m∠CAB + m∠BAF = 108°

m∠BAF + m∠BAF = 108°

2 m∠BAF = 108°

Divide by 2 on both sides, we get

m∠BAF = 54°

Hence the measure of ∠BAF is 54°.

From where Kiana is standing, she must look up at a 50° angle to see the top of a building. If she backs up 50 feet, she will ne
Morgarella [4.7K]
For this case, what we must do is solve the following system of equations:
 tan (50) = h / x
 tan (40) = h / (x + 50)
 Solving the system we have:
 (x + 50) * tan (40) = h
 (x) * tan (50) = h
 Matching:
 (x + 50) * tan (40) = (x) * tan (50)
 Rewriting:
 x (tan (50) - tan (40)) = 50 * tan (40)
 x = 50 * tan (40) / (tan (50) - tan (40))
 x = 118.9692621
 Substituting:
 h = (x) * tan (50)
 h = (118.9692621) * tan (50)
 h = 141.7820455
 Answer:
 
The height of the building is:
 
h = 141.7820455 ft
