Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle trig problem. The base of the right triangle is the distance that Donna if from the flagpole; the flagpole is the side opposite the reference angle which was given as 26, and we are looking for the height of the flagpole, h. The trig ratio that uses the side opposite over the side adjacent is the tangent ratio, specifically:
and
123tan(26) = h so
h = 60.0 rounded to the nearest tenth. But that is only the height from her line of vision and up, not the whole height. In order to find the whole height, we have to add in her height up to her line of vision which is 5.3 feet. Therefore, the height of the flagpole is
60.0 + 5.3 = 65.3 feet.
The graph that does not represents a proportional relationship is: A (see image attached below).
<h3>What is a Proportional Relationship?</h3>A proportional relationship has a constant, which is uniform and is defined in the equation y = kx, as k. This means a relationship that is proportionate will have an equation in that form.
For a proportional graph, the line must pass through the point of origin which is denoted by the ordered pair, (0, 0).
Therefore, from the options given, the option B represents a proportional relationship because it contains (0, 0), while option C and D takes the form of y = kx.
Therefore, option A does not represent a proportional relationship.
