The horizontal distance will be found using the formula:
tan θ= opposite/adjacent
given that θ=52°
opposite= 12 yards
adjacent=x
hence
tan 52=12/x
x=12/tan 52
x=9.3754
the height is 9.375 yards

Why is it important to calculate the distance between two points on a cartesian coordinate plane?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is used to find the distance between two points in the plane. The Pythagorean Theorem,

a

2

+

b

2

=

c

2

, is based on a right triangle where a and b are the lengths of the legs adjacent to the right angle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse. The relationship of sides

|

x

2

−

x

1

|

and

|

y

2

−

y

1

|

to side d is the same as that of sides a and b to side c. We use the absolute value symbol to indicate that the length is a positive number because the absolute value of any number is positive. (For example,

|

−

3

|

=

3

. ) The symbols

|

x

2

−

x

1

|

and

|

y

2

−

y

1

|

indicate that the lengths of the sides of the triangle are positive. To find the length c, take the square root of both sides of the Pythagorean Theorem.

c

2

=

a

2

+

b

2

→

c

=

√

a

2

+

b

2

It follows that the distance formula is given as

d

2

=

(

x

2

−

x

1

)

2

+

(

y

2

−

y

1

)

2

→

d

=

√

(

x

2

−

x

1

)

2

+

(

y

2

−

y

1

)

2

We do not have to use the absolute value symbols in this definition because any number squared is positive.

A GENERAL NOTE: THE DISTANCE FORMULA

Given endpoints

(

x

1

,

y

1

)

and

(

x

2

,

y

2

)

, the distance between two points is given by

d

√

x

)

(

−

y

)

Answer: Bottom left corner

Angle DEC and Angle DEH

=============================================================

Explanation:

I recommend opening your favorite paint program, and using different colors to mark on the drawing as I have done below (see attached image). Note how angle DEC is in red and angle DEH is in blue. The two angles are adjacent, meaning they share the same ray (in this case, ray ED) and they form a straight angle.

Because they form a straight angle, or straight line, this means the two angles are supplementary. Supplementary angles always add to 180.
