In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse

The distance from the top of the tree to the shadow is 40.8 ft.

From the given figure:

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 36= 33/H 
H=33/cos 6= 40.8 ft

Find the slope between these two points:<br><br><br><br> (4,2) and (10,5)
mart [117]

Answer:

Slope is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula = m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Point = (4,2) and (10,5)

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

m = 5 - 2/10 - 4

m = 3/6

m = 1/2

What other points are on the line of direct variation through (5, 12)? Check all that apply. (0, 0) (2.5, 6) (3, 10) (7.5, 18) (
aalyn [17]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

in this problem we have

the point (5,12) is on the line of direct variation

so

Find the constant of proportionality k

y/x=k-------> substitute ------> k=12/5

the equation is

y=\frac{12}{5}x

Remember that

If a point is on the line of direct variation

then

the point must satisfy the equation of direct variation

we're proceeding to verify each point

<u>case A)</u> point (0,0)

x=0\ y=0

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

0=\frac{12}{5}*0

0=0 -------> is true

therefore

the point (0,0) is on the line of direct variation

<u>case B)</u> point (2.5,6)

x=2.5\ y=6

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

6=\frac{12}{5}*2.5

6=6 -------> is true

therefore

the point (2.5,6) is on the line of direct variation

<u>case C)</u> point (3,10)

x=3\ y=10

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

10=\frac{12}{5}*3

10=7.2 -------> is not  true

therefore

the point (3,10) is not on the line of direct variation

<u>case D)</u> point (7.5,18)

x=7.5\ y=18

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

18=\frac{12}{5}*7.5

18=18 -------> is true

therefore

the point (7.5,18) is on the line of direct variation

<u>case E)</u> point (12.5,24)

x=12.5\ y=24

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

24=\frac{12}{5}*12.5

18=30 -------> is not true

therefore

the point  (12.5,24) is not on the line of direct variation

<u>case F)</u> point (15,36)

x=15\ y=36

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

36=\frac{12}{5}*15

36=36 -------> is true

therefore

the point (15,36) is on the line of direct variation

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

(0,0)

(2.5,6)

(7.5,18)

(15,36)
