I believe the answer is Monday!
Perpendicular slope: opposite and reciprocal
-4 opposite and reciprocal = 1/4
Y = 1/4x + b
Plug in point
-3 = 1/4(8) + b
-3 = 2 + b, b = -5
Solution: y = 1/4x - 5
Using the Law of Sines, sina/A=sinb/B=sinc/C (although there are other ways considering that this is a 30, 60, 90 degree triangle with a basic identity) we can say:
97/sin60=x/sin30=y/sin90
x=97sin30/sin60 and y=97sin90/sin60
The total height of the tree is h=x+y so
h=97sin30/sin60 + 97sin90/sin60
h≈168.01 ft (to the nearest hundredth of a foot)
h≈168 ft (to nearest foot)
