Answer:
m∠ABC = m∠BED; Corresponding Angles Theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u> line BC is parallel to line ED m∠ABC = 70° m∠CED = 30°
<u>Prove:</u> m∠BEC = 40°
Statement Justification
1. line BC is parallel to line ED - Given
2. m∠ABC = 70° - Given
3. m∠CED = 30° - Given
4. m∠BEC + m∠CED = m∠BED - Angle Addition Postulate
5. m∠ABC = m∠BED - Corresponding Angles Theorem
6. m∠BEC + 30° = 70° - Substitution Property of Equality
7. m∠BEC = 40° Subtraction Property of Equality
Answer:
the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P) is = 10779 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
a diagrammatic representation is attached below for better understanding and solution to the question.
From the diagram;
Let the Bird (B) be represent as A
The plane (P) be represented by B
The observer be represented by O
and the tower T be represented by C
we will see that:
Also;
AO = BC = 7000
Let consider the trigonometry of triangle BAO
tan θ = opposite/adjacent
tan 33° = 7000/x
0.6494 = 7000/x
x = 7000/0.6494
x = 10779.18
x = 10779 ft ( to the nearest whole number)
Thus; the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P) is = 10779 ft
