Answer: B, x=20; angle measure is 30°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite angles are always the same.
You can see that 30° and 3x are opposite angles therefore 3x=30°.
In algebra, when a letter and a number are next to each other, it means times.
So, 3x=30° means 3 times something equals 30.
And we know that 3×10=30 so, x=10.
Hope this helps :)
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out
should be the right answer
Answer:
a. 129 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters of the tree and the point <em>B</em> are;
The horizontal distance between the tree and point <em>B</em>, x = 125 meters
The angle of depression from the top of the tree to the point <em>B</em>, θ = 46°
Let <em>h</em> represent the height of the tree
The horizontal line at the top of the tree that forms the angle of depression with the line of sight from the top of the tree to the point <em>B</em> is parallel to the horizontal distance from the point <em>B</em> to the tree, therefore;
The angle of depression = The angle of elevation = 46°
By trigonometry, we have;
tan(θ) = h/x
∴ h = x × tan(θ)
Plugging in the values of the variables gives;
h = 125 × tan(46°) ≈ 129.44
The height of the tree, h ≈ 129 meters
