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

I just don't know where to start. I'm doing Algebra 2 stuff with sohcahtoa.

Hello!

As you can see, 22 is the opposite angle. We are looking for the adjacent angle. Let's just call it x. Using SOH CAH TOA, we see that the tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. Let's use that.

tan54≈1.38

This gives us the equation below.

1.38=22/x

Let's solve this equation for x.

1.38x=22

x=22/1.38

x=15.94

Therefore, the length of the shadow is about 15.94 meters.

I hope this helps!

∠1 and ∠2 are alternate exterior angles where transversal BE crosses parallel lines AC and DF, therefore they are equal. ∠2 and ∠3 are opposite angles of a parallelogram, therefore they are equal.

... ∠1 = ∠2

... 3x -5 = 2x +15 . . . . substitute the given values

... x = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . add 5-2x

The measures of angles 1, 2, and 3 are 2·20+15 = 55 . . . degrees.

Line L passes through the points (0, --3) and (6,9).<br> (a) Find the equation of line L.
valentina_108 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are :

(0,\:-3)=(x_1,\:y_1) \:\&\: (6,\:9)=(x_2 ,\:y_2)

Equation of line in two point form is given as:

\frac{y -y_1 }{y_1 -y_2 }  = \frac{x -x_1 }{x_1 -x_2 }  \\  \\  \therefore \frac{y -( - 3)}{ -3  -9 }  = \frac{x -0 }{0 -6 }  \\  \\  \therefore \frac{y  + 3}{ -12}  = \frac{x  }{ -6 }  \\  \\  \therefore \frac{y  + 3}{ 2}  = \frac{x  }{1}  \\  \\  \therefore  \: y + 3 = 2x \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore  \: 2x - y - 3 = 0}} \\ is \: the \: required \: equation \: of \: line.

Simplify: 18q2−45q+25/9q2−25.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

\frac{(6q-5)}{(3q+5)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: \frac{18q^{2}-45q+25 }{9q^{2}-25 }

Factorizing the numerator and the denominator, we have:

18q^{2} - 45q + 25 = 18q^{2} - 30q - 15q + 25

                         = (3q - 5)(6q - 5)

and

9q^{2} - 25 = (3q - 5)(3q + 5)

So that,

\frac{18q^{2}-45q+25 }{9q^{2}-25 } = \frac{(3q-5)(6q-5)}{(3q-5)(3q+5)}

                 = \frac{(6q-5)}{(3q+5)}

Therefore,

\frac{18q^{2}-45q+25 }{9q^{2}-25 } = \frac{(6q-5)}{(3q+5)}
