Her horizontal distance to the rim satisfies the ratio
(10 ft -6 ft)/distance = tan(25°)
so the distance is
distance = (4 ft)/tan(25°) ≈ 9 ft
The altitude of a triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the side opposite the vertex.
Answer: 
9514 1404 393
Answer:
C. √((5-9)² +(1+6)²)
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula can be written ...
d = √((x1 -x2)² +(y1 -y2)²)
Filling in the given point coordinates, this becomes ...
d = √((5 -9)² +(1 -(-6))²)
Simplifying the signs, this becomes ...
d = √((5 -9)² +(1 +6)²) . . . . . matches choice C
