Answer:

195 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the horizontal distance, angle, and vertical height is given by ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Referring to the attached diagram, we have ...

tan(16°) = BT/MB

tan(25°) = BK/MB

Solving for BT and BK, we can describe their difference as ...

BT = MB·tan(16°)

BK = MB·tan(25°)

BK -BT = 35 = MB(tan(25°) -tan(16°))

Dividing by the coefficient of MB gives ...

MB = 35/(tan(25°) -tan(16°)) = 35/0.179562

MB = 195 . . . feet

Marcos is standing 195 feet from the base of the tree.

(-2,3)(0,8) what is en equation for these points

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The line equation that passes through the given points is 5x – 2y + 16 = 0

Explanation:

Given:

Two points are A(-2, 3) and B(0, 8).

To find:

The line equation that passes through the given two points.

Solution:

We know that, general equation of a line passing through two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) is given by

$\frac{(y- y1)}{(x-x_1)}= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}$

${(y- y1)= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}\times(x-x_1)$ .............(1)

here, in our problem x1 = 0, y1 = 8, x2 = -2 and y2 = 3.

Now substitute the values in (1)

$y-8 = \frac{(3-8)}{(- 2 - 0)}\times(x- 0)$

$y-8 = \frac{(- 5)}{(-2)}\times(x)$

$y-8 =\frac{5}{2}x$

2y – 16 = 5x

5x – 2y + 16 = 0

Hence, the line equation that passes through the given points is 5x – 2y + 16 = 0.
