23 to the 3 because I just took it
Answer:
m<D = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Exterior angles thm:
83 + 6x - 4 = 21x + 4
6x + 79 = 21x + 4
6x - 21x = 4 - 79
-15x = -75
x = 5
m<D:
6x - 4
6(3) - 4
18 - 4
14

Using the slope concept, it is found that the thundercloud is 6.43 miles above the ground.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem, we have that:
- The vertical distance is the height h.
- The horizontal distance is of 3 miles, as the sound takes 5 seconds to travel 1 mile, and it took 15 seconds.
Hence:
tan(65º) = h/3.
h = 3 x tan(65º)
h = 6.43 miles.
The thundercloud is 6.43 miles above the ground.
