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

What is the perimeter of a regular heptagon if one side measures 3 inches
svetlana [45]
What's a regular heptagon?  "Hept-" means seven, so a "heptagon" is a seven-sided shape.  A "regular" figure's sides are all the same length.  So, each of the 7 sides are the same length.

Remember, perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides in a polygon.  We know one side measures three inches, so each of the others must also measure 3 inches.  3+3+3+3+3+3+3=3*7=21 inches.

Answer: 21 inches

Round 9118 to the nearest ten
gavmur [86]

(8)=ones place

(1)0=tens place

(1)00=hundreds place

(9)000=thousands place

The "1" beside the 8, is the tenths spot so you would round that part of the number.

Therefore the answer would be:

9120

The answers to (a)-(d) work is not needed just answers
Debora [2.8K]
A)  n(a) = 25 + 15 = 40
b) n(b) = 42+15 =57
c) n (a U b) = 25 +15+ 42 = 82 
d) n (a') = 42
e) n(b') = 25
f)  n(a intersection b)' =  82-15 = 67 
g) n (a U b)' =     14 
h)  n (a'  intersection  b') =  14
i)  n (a' U b') = 42 + 25 +14 = 81 


hope i helped a bit .. :-)
