An observer, whose eyes are 1.98 m above the ground, is standing 39.2 m away from a tree. The ground is level, and the tree is g

rowing perpendicular to it. The observer's line of sight with the treetop makes an angle of 20.9° above the horizontal. How tall is the tree?

Answer:

The tree is 16.25 m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is a diagram that better explains the problem.

From the diagram we see that the distance between the top of the tree and the line of sight of the observer is x.

To find the height of the tree, we need to first find x and then add it to the height of the observers line of sight from the ground.

Using SOHCAHTOA trigonometric function:

tan(20) = x/39.2

=> x = 39.2 * tan(20)

x = 39.2 * 0.364

x = 14.27m

Hence, the height of the tree is:

(14.27 + 1.98)m

16.25m

The tree is 16.25 m tall.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH WIYH THIS ?????

Answer:

x = 14

Angle B = 121°

Angle C is 59°

Step-by-step explanation:

First we'll find x, then we'll find Angle B (by substituting in x), then we'll find Angle C (bc Angle B and C are supplementary--that us, they add up to 180°)

10x-19 = 7x+23 subtract 7x

3x-19 = 23 add 19

3x = 42 divide by 3

x = 14

Angle B is 10x-19, and if x=14, then its 10(14)-19

Angle B is 140-19

which is 121°

Angle B = 121°

Angle B and Angle C add up to 180°

121° + c = 180°

c = 180-121

Angle C is 59°

Triangle ABC was dilated using the rule Do,4. Triangle
AysviL [449]

The value of OB based on the information given about the triangle is 3 units.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that dilation is the process of enlarging or shrinking of an object.

In this case, the triangle is dilated. Therefore, the length of OB will be:

= 3/4 × 4 = 3 units.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
