Answer:
Nine point two hundred two
−3.666667, hope that helps.
Step 1: Multiply 5x2 = 10 so the equation after the first step should look like this 10 + 12x + 8 = 0.
Step 2: Subtract 10 from the 8 and the number by itself cause whatever you do to one side you must do to the other. so the equation should look like this after the second step 12x + -2 = 0 because we subtracted the 10 and the 8.
Step 3: Now we must add the 2 to both sides because we have to do the inverse operation in this problem so once we've done this it should end up looking like this after the 3rd step 12x = 2 because the 2 was a negative.
Step 4: the final step we must divide since an anytime we have a number next to a variable it means multiply but since were using order of operations we have to do the opposite/inverse operation in this problem and we would divide 12 by 2 and get our final answer as x = -6 because the 12 would cancel itself out leaving us with 2 divided by 12 which is 0.16 or -6 depending on if you want it simplified or not the simplified answer would be 0.16 and the non simplified version would be -6
Answer:
a. 129 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters of the tree and the point <em>B</em> are;
The horizontal distance between the tree and point <em>B</em>, x = 125 meters
The angle of depression from the top of the tree to the point <em>B</em>, θ = 46°
Let <em>h</em> represent the height of the tree
The horizontal line at the top of the tree that forms the angle of depression with the line of sight from the top of the tree to the point <em>B</em> is parallel to the horizontal distance from the point <em>B</em> to the tree, therefore;
The angle of depression = The angle of elevation = 46°
By trigonometry, we have;
tan(θ) = h/x
∴ h = x × tan(θ)
Plugging in the values of the variables gives;
h = 125 × tan(46°) ≈ 129.44
The height of the tree, h ≈ 129 meters
