X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B

✔️Sin 23 = opp/hyp
Sin 23 = t/34
34*sin 23 = t
t = 13.3
✔️Cos 23 = adj/hyp
Cos 23 = s/34
s = 34*cos 23
s = 31.3

✔️Sin 36 = opp/hyp
Sin 36 = s/5
s = 5*sin 36
s = 2.9
✔️Cos 36 = adj/hyp
Cos 36 = r/5
r = 5*cos 36
r = 4.0

✔️Sin 70 = opp/hyp
Sin 70 = w/10
w = 10*sin 70
w = 9.4
✔️Cos 70 = adj/hyp
Cos 70 = v/10
v = 10*cos 70
v = 3.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:
Convert this into equation and solve for k:
- 33 = k - 15
- k = 33 + 15
- k = 48
So the <u>value of k is 48</u>
Point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
slope=m
a point is (x1,y1)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(-6,4) and (2,0)
slope=(0-4)/(2-(-6))=-4/(2+6)=-4/8=-1/2
a point is (-6,4)
x1=-6
y1=4
y-4=-1/2(x+6)
