From the top of a tower, the angle of depression to a flower on the ground

Mathematics

Ronch [10]3 years ago

Answer:

25.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle with the right angle at the foot of the tower. The interior angle of the triangle at the top is the complement of the angle of depression. 90 - 74 = 16; it measures 16°. The leg at the bottom has length x. The height of the tower is the vertical leg and is 90 ft. We are looking for x.

For the 16° angle, x is the opposite leg, and 90 ft is the adjacent leg.

tan A = opp/adj

tan 16° = x/(90 ft)

x = 90 ft * tan 16°

x = 25.8 ft

Answer: 25.8 ft

180 = 65 + (x-5) + x
-65     -65

115 = 2x - 5

2x = 120

x = 60

The angle measures are 65, 60, and 55 degrees.

WITCHER [35]

.....Jeremy did not make a good inference. The ratio is not in proportion to 2/15. The correct inference would be about 26 students who did not read any books in July. The sample might be biased since it was limited to those at the pool....
