We have a triangle, when:
hypotenuse=slant height=20 ft
opposite side=height of the tree=?
angle formed by the tree with the ground=72º


sin Ф=opposite/ hypotenuse    ⇒ opposite=(hypotenuse)(sin Ф)

In this case:
oppssite=20 ft /sin 72º=19.021...≈19

Answer: the heigth of the tree is 19 ft.

Line that is perpendicular to y=3x-2 and passes through the point (-9,5)
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

The line y = 3x - 2 has slope 3.

The perpendicular line has slope -1/3.

Now we find the equation of the line that has slope -1/3 and passes through (-9, 5).

y = mx + b

y = -1/3x + b

5 = (-1/3)(-9) + b

5 = 3 + b

b = 2

The equation of the perpendicular is

y = -1/3x + 2
