Answer:
(b) the unknown angle is 80°
Step-by-step explanation:
The unkown angle is:
[2(x-10)]°
Substituting "x" by 50 (part a)
[2(50-10)]°=[2(40)]°=80°
For number 5 you are just multiplying by 4.5
Answer:
174.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)
We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...
180° -30° -112° = 38°
Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.
c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)
c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft
The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.

Answer:
a) 2
b) left: 3; lower right: 5
c) upper right: 53°; bottom: 82°
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>3.</h3>
a) The top side of polygon B is 5 units; the corresponding top side of polygon A is 2.5 units, so the dimensions of polygon A are multiplied by the scale factor 5/2.5 = 2 to give the dimensions of polygon B.
the scale factor is 2
__
b) Sides of polygon B are 2 times the length of the corresponding side of polygon A.
left side: 2×1.5 = 3
lower right side: 2×2.5 = 5
__
c) Corresponding angles of similar figures are congruent.
upper right angle: 53°
bottom angle: 82°
___
