The second answer i believe
Answer: 19 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side
Where α is the angle of depression of the dog, the opposite side (16) is Ted's eye level above the ground, and the adjacent side (x) is the distance between the dog and the barn door.
Replacing with the values given:
tan40 = 16/x
Solving for x
x =16/tan40
x= 19 ft
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
The answer is 14.33333 but you will have to round which you will just have 14.3
The answer is C, you can tell because the b=-1, so that eliminates d, then you know the slope is positive because of the direction it goes, so that eliminates a. Then if you look at the slope, it goes up 3 over 1, so that makes the answer C.
Hope this helps
