Aiko stands 5 m from a tree. At that distance, the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the tree is 80°.

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf About \ 28.36 \ meters }}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the tree is perpendicular to the ground, we can use the right triangle trigonometric ratios to find the tree's height.

  • sin(θ)= opposite/hypotenuse
  • cos(θ)= adjacent/hypotenuse
  • tan(θ)= opposite/adjacent

Now, let's draw a diagram. We know Aiko is 5 meters from the base of the tree. From there, the angle to the top of the tree is 80 degrees. We are looking for x, the tree's height. The diagram attached is not to scale.

We base the sides off of the angle. x is opposite of 80 degrees and 5 is adjacent. Therefore we must use tangent.

tan(\Theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

  • opposite=x
  • adjacent=5 m
  • θ=80

Substitute in the known variables.

tan(80)=\frac{x}{5 \ m }

We want to find x, the height of the tree. Therefore we need to isolate that variable.

x is being divided and the inverse operation is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 meters.

5 \ m* tan(80)=\frac{x}{5 \ m }* 5 \ m

5 \ m* tan(80)=x

5 \ m *5.67128182=x

28.3564091 \ m = x

The question asks for an approximation, so let's round to the nearest hundredth.

The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 5 to a 6.

28.36 \ m \approx x

The tree is about <u>28.36 meters tall.</u>

Can someone pls help me find this is important
Olenka [21]

Answer:

x=90° and y=35°

Step-by-step explanation:

to get x and y first you must find the middle angles based on the information you have so:

35+90+n=180° solve for n to get what the middle angles are (since they are vertical angles they are equal) so the middle angles are both 55 degrees

and then 180-x=that angle that is also on the line with x so we'll call it k

so k+55+y=180°

we can see that y equals 35* because I noticed that those are parallel lines on the outside of the triangle so 35* and y angles are congruent and y =35°

now 35+55+k=180°

solve for the angle next to x which we called k and it is 90°

so x=90° and y=35°

after all this math I realized that if they are parallel lines then we can just use that to figure it out so use the properties to find out that x=90° and y=35°

Select the correct answer Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to line MN?
taurus [48]

Answer:

D. y = 4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that is perpendicular to the line MN should have a slope that when multiplied by the slope of line MN will result to negative one. Therefore,

Therefore,

m₁ × m₂ = -1

Using the 2 coordinates of MN let's find the slope,

(-7, 6)(5, 3)

Therefore,

m₁ = 3 - 6 / 5 - (-7) = -3 / 12 = - 1 / 4

The equation that represent a line perpendicular to the line MN is

y = 4x - 6 because the slope slope(m₂) is 4.

From our formula,

4 × - 1 / 4 = - 1

So, option D meets the requirement.
