Answer:
(a) AH < HC is No
(b) AH < AC is Yes
(c) △AHC ≅ △AHB is Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for triangle
Solving (a): AH < HC
Line AH divides the triangle into two equal right-angled triangles which are: ABH and ACH (both right-angled at H).
To get the lengths of AH and HC, we need to first determine the measure of angles HAC and ACH. The largest of those angles will determine the longest of AH and HC. Since the measure of the angles are unknown, then we can not say for sure that AH < HC because the possible relationship between both lines are: AH < HC, AH = HC and AH > HC
Hence: AH < HC is No
Solving (b): AH < AC
Length AC represents the hypotenuse of triangle ACH, hence it is the longest length of ACH.
This means that:
AH < AC is Yes
Solving (c): △AHC ≅ △AHB
This has been addresed in (a);
Hence:
△AHC ≅ △AHB is Yes

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The bird is approximately 9 ft high up in the tree
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The required diagram is shown in the attached image
Note that the tree, the cat and the ground form a right-angled triangle
<u>Therefore, we can apply special trigonometric functions</u>
<u>These functions are as follows:</u>
<u>Now, taking a look at our diagram, we can note the following:</u>
α = 25°
The opposite side is the required height (x)
The adjacent side is the distance between the cat and the tree = 20 ft
Therefore, we can use the <u>tan function</u>
<u>This is done as follows:</u>
which is 9 ft approximated to the nearest ft
Hope this helps :)
