Answer:
The original height of the tree is 18 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
From the diagram, we shall determine the value of 'x'. This can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as follow:
x² = 5² + 12²
x² = 25 + 144
x² = 169
Take the square root of both side
x = √169
x = 13 m
Finally, we shall determine the original height of the tree. This can be obtained as follow.
From the question given above, the tree was broken from a height of 5 m from the ground which form a right angle triangle with x being the Hypothenus as illustrated in the diagram.
Thus, the original height of the will be the sum of 5 and x i.e
Height = 5 + x
x = 13 m
Height = 5 + 13
Height = 18 m
Therefore, the original height of the tree is 18 m.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that line m is parallel to line p, and
.
Since line m is parallel to line p and EJ is a transversal, so measure of angle EJG will be 39 degrees as angle EJG is alternate interior angle of angle HEF. Both angles are inside parallel lines m and p and on opposite side of transversal EJ.
We can see that angle EFG is exterior angle of triangle GFJ. Since the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of the opposite interior angles.
We can see that angle IGF and angle EJG are opposite interior angles of angle EFG.
Upon substituting our given values we will get,
Therefore, measure of angle EFG is 52 degrees.
