Describe and correct the error in finding DC

Mathematics
1 answer:
sleet_krkn [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

DC = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The wrong equation was used.

The right equation to use based on the midsegment theorem of a trapezoid is:

MN = ½(AB + DC)

MN = 8

AB = 14

Substitute

8 = ½(14 + DC)

Multiply both sides by 2

8*2 = ½(14 + DC)*2

2*8 = 14 + DC

16 = 14 + DC

16 - 14 = 14 + DC - 14

2 = DC

DC = 2

62. Height Kirsten places her surveyor's telescope on the top of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Height of the tripod above the ground = 5 ft

Elevation = 8°

Distance of the tree from the tripod = 120 ft

Therefore from the figure, we can find the height of the tress as:

$\tan 8 ^\circ = \frac{BC}{AB}$

$0.1405  = \frac{BC}{120}$

∴  BC ≈ 16

Therefore, CE = BC+BE

                        = 16 + 5

                        = 21

Therefore the height of the tree is 21 feet.

Find x.<br> I had been stuck on this one for awhile
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

34 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so 180-111=69

then the opposite angle from 37 is also 37

the the missing angle from the left triangle has to be 103

so then the angle below x is 77

and so we know x = 34 degrees

I hope that made sense.
