Answer:

435 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = <P = 49° (angle of elevation)

Opposite side = 500 ft

Adjacent side = d = ?

Apply trigonometric function, TOA.

This:

Tan P = opp/adj

Tan 49 = 500/d

d × Tan 49 = 500

d = 500/Tan 49

d = 434.643369 ≈ 435 ft (to the nearest foot)

What is the value of x and the length of segment DE?

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Part 1) $x=6.6\ units$

Part 2) $DE=16.2\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the value of x

we know that

Triangles CDF and FDE are similar

therefore

The ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

$CD/FD=FD/DE$

$\frac{5}{9}=\frac{9}{2x+3} \\ \\5*(2x+3)=9*9\\ \\10x+15=81\\ \\10x= 81-15\\ \\10x=66\\ \\ x=6.6\ units$

Part 2) Find the length of DE

$DE=2x+3$

substitute the value of x

$DE=2(6.6)+3=16.2\ units$
