Answer:
32.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation forms a right triangle. We are given the distance from the base of the tower (long leg of the triangle) and are asked to find the height (short leg of the triangle).
With this information, we can use the tan ratio, opposite over adjacent, to find the height of the tower.
tan 18 =
Multiply each side by 100:
(100) tan 18 = x
Simplify and round to the nearest tenth:
32.49 = x
32.5 = x
So, the height of the tower is approximately 32.5 feet

Answer:
6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula is useful for finding the slope.
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (-1 -11)/(-5 -5) = -12/-10
m = 6/5
The slope of the line through the given points is 6/5.
