Tanα=y/x
y=xtanα, we are told that x=25ft and α=30°
y=25tan30° ft
y≈14.43 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)
Since their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, it poses no risk right now.
This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
Answer:
Point of the flower garden R ( 11, 44 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Let´s call P ( 3, 14 ) The center of the herb garden, and Q ( 7 , 29 ) the birdbath point
Differences in coordinates of these two points are:
x axis 7 - 3 = 4
y axis 29 - 14 = 15
Then the point Q ( x , y ) will be at: Q ( 11, 44)
x axis x = 11 because 7 + 4 = 11 means that the coordinate 7 is just halfway way between coordinates (x) 3 and 11 ( 4 above 3, and 4 below 11)
Reasoning the same way we conclude y = 44 in this case 29 is just halfway between coordinates (y) 14 and 44 ( 15 above 14 and 15 below 44)
We can probe getting distance d₁ between P and Q and d₂ distance between Q and R as:
d₁ = √ (7-3)² + ( 29-14)²
d₁ = √ 16 + 225
d₂ = √ (11 - 7)² + ( 44 - 29)²
d₂ = √ 16 + 225
