M < 2 and m < 6 are corresponding angles and are equal....so < 6 = 132.

< 6 and < 8 form a line and are equal to 180

< 6 + < 8 = 180
132 + < 8 = 180
< 8 = 180 - 132
< 8 = 48 <===

Jada is standing 10 feet from the base of the tree and spots a nest sitting on a branch. the angle of elevation from the ground

kogti [31]

Answer:

h = (10 ft)(1.428) = 14.28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the height of the nest by h. This is the vertical side of a triangle. The horizontal side is 10 ft.

The following relationship is true:

tan 55 degrees = (opposite side) / (adjacent side), and in this case,

tan 55 degrees = h / 10 ft, so that:

h = height of nest = (10 ft)(tan 55 degrees), or

h = (10 ft)(1.428) = 14.28 ft
