Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base =
x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
(
x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
24.59 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance between Sam and the bird.
We have been given that am the owl is looking down at a 24° angle from the top of a tree that is 10 ft tall, when he spots a bird on the ground. We are asked to find the distance between Sam and the bird.
We can see from our attachment that Sam, the bird and angle of depression forms a right triangle with respect to ground. We can see that side 10 ft is opposite side and and side x is hypotenuse for the 24 degree angle.






Therefore, the bird is approximately 24.59 feet away from Sam.
Answer: tangent
Step-by-step explanation:
In relation to the 74-degree angle, you have the adjacent side and the opposite side.
