bearing in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, then any parallel line to the one above will have the same slope as that one.

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \qquad \implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{7}{3}}x-4$

Scarlett is trying to find the height of a dam. She stands 90 meters away from the dam and records the angle of elevation to the

adoni [48]

Answer:

45.55 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing she recorded above her height, right?

To find the height of the dam, use the tangent ratio:

$tangentX=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

The height of the dam is the side opposite the given angle, and this will represent x. The adjacent side (the hypotenuse is NEVER considered the adjacent side) is the distance from Scarlett to the dam. The angle of elevation is the angle of 26°. Insert the values:

$tan26=\frac{x}{90}$
