Answer:

The height of the tree is 21 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A light post that is 9 feet tall that casts a shadow that is 6 feet long

so

by proportion

Find out the the height of the tree if a tree that casts a shadow that is 14 feet long

Let

x ----> the height of the tree

\frac{9}{6}=\frac{x}{14}\\\\x=9*14/6\\\\x=21\ ft

therefore

The height of the tree is 21 ft

<h3>Answer: Choice D)  31.2 miles</h3>

This value is approximate.

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

Explanation:

Let's focus on the 48 degree angle. This angle combines with angle ABC to form a 90 degree angle. This means angle ABC is 90-48 = 42 degrees. Or in short we can say angle B = 42 when focusing on triangle ABC.

Now let's move to the 17 degree angle. Add on the 90 degree angle and we can see that angle CAB, aka angle A, is 17+90 = 107 degrees.

Based on those two interior angles, angle C must be...

A+B+C = 180

107+42+C = 180

149+C = 180

C = 180-149

C = 31

----------------

To sum things up so far, we have these known properties of triangle ABC

  • angle A = 107 degrees
  • side c = side AB = 24 miles
  • angle B = 42 degrees
  • angle C = 31 degrees

Let's use the law of sines to find side b, which is opposite angle B. This will find the length of side AC (which is the distance from the storm to station A).

b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

b/sin(42) = 24/sin(31)

b = sin(42)*24/sin(31)

b = 31.1804803080182 which is approximate

b = 31.2 miles is the distance from the storm to station A

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
