The bird is 17 feet above the tree.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We need to think of this in terms of right triangles.  If Wendy is 60 feet from a tree, the base of the right triangle is 60 feet.  The height of the tree is the height of the right triangle.  The angle of elevation is the one from the ground at her feet to the top of the tree and then to the bird.  Let's start with the top of the tree first.

She's 60 feet away, we have the angle of elevation as 25 degrees, and we are looking for the height of the tree.  In regards to the angle, the base of 60 is adjacent, and the height of the tree is opposite.  The tangent ratio is height / base.

Let x be the height of the tree.

So,

tan (25) = \frac{x}{60}

60 tan(25) = x\\\\x = 27.9 feet

x is approximately 28 feet

Since, Wendy's eyes are 5 feet above the ground, the height of the tree becomes

28 + 5 = 33 feet

<u>For bird</u>

Let y be the height of the bird in the air

tan(37) = \frac{y}{60} \\\\60 tan(37) = y\\\\y = 45.2 feet

y is approximately 45 feet

Since, Wendy's eyes are 5 feet above the ground, the height of the tree becomes

45 + 5 = 50 feet

To know how far above the tree that bird is

50 - 33 = 17 feet

Therefore, the bird is 17 feet above the tree.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

slope can only be showed by the word <em><u>GRADIENT</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A <em>slope</em><em> </em>means how much something is <em>slanting</em>

like if something is <u>Inclined</u><u> </u>at a specific degree. e. g. <em>This</em><em> </em><em>house</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>inclined</em><em> </em><em>at</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>5</em><em>°</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>road</em>

Karolina [17]

Answer:

A) x+y=100 \\ ..\    5x + y = 420

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Five-dollar bill  x

One-dollar bill  y

Total number of bills N=100

Worth of bills w=420

Generally the equation for Total number of bills  is mathematically given by

Since it is made up of five and one dollar bills

Therefore

  x+y=100

Hence the Equation for Total worth of bills is

 5x+y=420

The System of equations used is

A) x+y=100 \\ ..\    5x + y = 420
