The equation of a line in ' point- slope form ' is
y - b = m( x - a )
where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line
here m = and (a, b ) = (3, 2 )
y - 2 = ( x - 3 ) → in point- slope form
Answer:
2 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use trigonometry for this. The appropriate one would be tangent, which is (opposite side) divided by (adjacent side).
In this case, the opposite side of angle A is BC, which is 6 meters. The adjacent side of angle A is AB, which is the ground. Since we don't know its length, we call it x.
Now, we write:
= 6/x
To solve, we just multiply both sides by tan(x) and x:
x = 6/[tan(72)] ≈ 1.95 meters ≈ 2 meters.
Thus, the answer is 2 meters.
Hope this helps!
