Answer:

881.5 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal plane at the level of wai-kin's eyes divide the height of the cliff into two parts. Let the upper part be represented by x and the lower part be represented by y.

The height of the cliff = x + y

Applying the appropriate trigonometry functions.

To determine the value of x;

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 36^{o} = \frac{x}{490}

⇒ x = 490 x Tan 36^{o}

      = 490 x 0.7265

     = 355.985

x = 356 meters

To determine the value of y;

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 47^{o} = \frac{y}{490}

⇒ y = 490 x Tan 47^{o}

      = 490 x 1.0724

      = 525.476

y = 525.5 meters

Therefore,

The height of the cliff = x + y

                                   = 355.985 + 525.476

                                   = 881.461

The height of the cliff is 881.5 meters.

Answer:

y=4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the gradient of the straight line

Then substitute the gradient in the formula y=mx+c.

Substitute one of the given coordinates in the line to find the value of c.

After finding the value of c substitute it in the formula but do not write the values of x and y in the formula
