Answer:
Third answer (she is incorrect because she should have squared each leg length and then found the sum.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem states that a²+b²=c². This is not equivalent to (a+b)²=c² (due to FOIL expansion, this expands to a²+2ab+b²=c²).
This matches with the third answer, as she has to do a² and b≥ separately.

Answer:
15 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a horizontal segment approximately 4 inches long. Label the right endpoint A and the left endpoint C. Label the length of AC 4.2 meters. That is the horizontal distance between the eye and the blackboard.
At the right endpoint, A, draw a vertical segment going up, approximately 1 inch tall. Label the upper point E, for eye. Label segment EA 1 meter since the eye is 1 meter above ground.
At the left endpoint of the horizontal segment, point C, draw a vertical segment going up approximately 2 inches. Label the upper point B for blackboard. Connect points E and B. Draw one more segment. From point E, draw a horizontal segment to the left until it intersects the vertical segment BC. Label the point of intersection D.
The angle of elevation you want is angle BED.
The length of segment BC is 2.1 meters. The length of segment CD is 1 meter. That means that the length of segment BD is 1.1 meters.
To find the measure of angle BED, we can use the opposite leg and the adjacent leg and the inverse tangent function.
BD = 1.1 m
DE = 4.2 m
tan <BED = opp/adj
tan <BED = 1.1/4.2
m<BED = tan^-1 (1.1/4.2)
m<BED = 15
