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

\angle a∠aangle, a and \angle b∠bangle, b are complementary angles. \angle a∠aangle, a measures 64^\circ64
Archy [21]

Answer:

If angle a and b are complementary angles, and angle a is 64, complementary equals 90, so 90-64= 26 degrees for angle b.

During a field trip, 60 students are put into equal-sized groups. Describe two ways to interpret 60 ÷ 5 in this problem *
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

    x=12 groups

This will give 5 Students each in 12 different equally sized groups

    x'=5groups

This also shows that students can grouped in equal groups of 12 in 5 places

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

60 children in equal sized groups

Generally interpreting 60\div 5 can be mathematically represented as

a)

    x=\frac{60}{5}

    x=12 groups

This will give 5 Students each in 12 different equally sized groups

b)

    x'=\frac{60}{12}

    x'=5groups

This also shows that students can grouped in equal groups of 12 in 5 places
