Answer:
By using the rule that the interior angles of any triangle equal 180 we see that:
m<ABC+m<CAB+m<ACB=180°
Therefore,
(2x+15)+(x+10)+(3x+5) = 180°
Now we have an equation and can solve for x:
Combine like terms:
(2x+15)+(x+10)+(3x+5) = 180°
6x+30=180°
6x+30-30=180-30
6x=150
x=25
To check our work just plug in 25 for x in each equation and the sum of those answers should add up to 180:
2x+15
2(25)+15
65
x+10
25+10
35
3x+5
3(25)+5
75+5
80
65+35+80=180
x=25 is valid
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are 21° 19' and 16°20'.
1) Convert the angles to decimal form:
19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°
20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°
2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.
You can form a triangle with
- horizontal leg x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)
You can form a second triangle with:
- horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x => h = x * tan(21.32)
Now equal the two expressions for h:
(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet
=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.
Answer: 76.39 feet
