You are visiting a Redwood tree forest and want to verify the height of one of the trees. You measure its shadow along the groun

d and use trig to calculate the height. The shadow measures 500 feet and you calculate the angle of elevation to be 35 degrees. This forms a right triangle. (a) What is the measure of the other acute angle?(b) What is the height of the tree?

Answer:

(a)55^o

(b)350.1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles inside a triangle must be 180°, but from the right angle we already have 90°, so the sum of the two acute angles is 90°, then:

90^o-35^o=55^o

Let s be the length of the shadow and h the height of the three, so tan(35) is

tan(35^o)=\frac{h}{s}

Solving that last equation for h:

h=s*tan(35)=500(0.7002)=350.1ft

And airplanes at altitude change -370 ft over 7 minutes what was the mean change of altitude in feet per minute?
Reil [10]
We have that
<span> [the mean change of altitude]=[change in altitude]/[time]
</span> [the mean change of altitude]=[-370]/[7]---------------> -52.86 ft/minute

the answer is -52.86 ft/minute  (<span>the negative sign means that the plane is descending</span>)

Answer:

  b.  They are at a speed of 30 mph when time begins.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-axis represents time zero, when time begins. The curve intercepts the y-axis at y=30. Y-values on the graph represent speed in miles per hour (mph), so a y-value of 30 at the point on the y-axis represents ...

  a speed of 30 mph when time begins
