The correct answer is
the flagpole is <span>
33 feet high</span>.
Explanation:
Please refer to the attached picture.
We know:
CD = 40 feet
AC = 5 feet
∠BDC = α = 35°
Using trigonometry, we know that the definition of the tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side, therefore:
tan α = BC / CD
Solving for BC:
BC = CD · <span>tan α
= 40 </span>· tan (35)
= 28 feet
In order to find the height of the flagpole, we need to add the distance of the clinometer from the ground:
AB = BC + AC
= 28 + 5
= 33
Hence, the flagpole is
33 feet high.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
14) 2x - 10 = 80 {alternate interior angles are equal}
2x = 80 + 10
2x = 90
x = 90/2
x = 45°
15) 3x + 120 = 180 { co interior angles are supplementary}
3x = 180 - 120
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20°
16) 3x + 15 = 135 {corresponding angles are equal}
3x = 165 - 15
3x = 150
x = 150/3
x = 50°
Answer:
3x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+7-x=4x-x+7=3x+7
Answer:
The COP is 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must find the slopes.
12.50/25 = 0.5
17.50/35 = 0.5
The COP is 0.5
