The angles of elevation and depression are formed by the line of sight and the horizontal line. When the line of vision is above the horizontal line, the angle is of elevation, and if the line of sight is below the horizontal, the angle is of depression.
The angle of depresion from the top of the taller building and the angle of elevation from the top of the shorter building are alternate interior angles. Then, if the angle of depression of the taller building is 15° the angle of elevation of the shorter building is 15° too. To understand this, you should see the diagram attached.
In the diagram you can notice that both angles, of elevation and depression, have the same value.
Then, the answer is:
The angle of depresion from the top of the taller building and the angle of elevation from the top of the shorter building are alternate interior angles.
In order to prove the triangle is a right angled triangle we need to prove that the slope of the lines CA and BC and AB have any negative reciprocals.Lets find the slopes .
AB=(-1,3), (1,2) slope of AB = 2-3/1-(-1)= -1/2 slope of AB is -1/2
BC = (1,2), (-3,1) slope of BC is 1-2/-3-1= -1/-4 slope of BC is 1/4
Slope of CA =(-3,1)(-1,3) slope of 3-1/-1-(-3)=-2/-2=1
Since the slopes do not have any negative reciprocals so the triangle is not a right angled triangle
Answer:
21 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles have a total angle of 180 degrees.
This makes our equation:
3x+3+4x+135=180
Subtract 135 from both sides and combine like terms
7x + 3 = 45
Subtract 3 from both sides
7x = 42
Divide both sides by 7
x = 6
Plugging the number in:
3x + 3 =
3(6) + 3 =
21
The expression "x is less than or equal to zero" can be written in several forms; some examples, however, could be:
x ≤ 0
0 ≥ x
(You could substitute any number in place of 3 for the below)
3 - 3 ≥ x
