8 0

Square both sides

9(x + 2) = x + 4

Expand

9x + 18 = x + 4

Subtract x from both sides

9x + 18 - x = 4

Simplify 9x + 18 - x to 8x + 18

8x + 18 = 4

Subtract 18 from both sides

8x = 4 - 18

Simplify 4 - 18 to -14

8x = -14

Divide both sides by 8

x = -14/8

Simplify 14/8 to 7/4

Liula [17]

Answer:

24.59 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance between Sam and the bird.

We have been given that am the owl is looking down at a 24° angle from the top of a tree that is 10 ft tall, when he spots a bird on the ground. We are asked to find the distance between Sam and the bird.

We can see from our attachment that Sam, the bird and angle of depression forms a right triangle with respect to ground. We can see that side 10 ft is opposite side and and side x is hypotenuse for the 24 degree angle.

$\text{sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$
