We need to solve for the height of the tree and we need to define the variable that would represent this value. In this case, we assign "y" for the unknown height of the tree. See attached picture for better comprehension.
Solving for the variable "a" which is base of downhill to the tree, we have it:
cos 20° = a / 15 ft
a = 15*cos 20°
a = 14.095 feet
Solving for the variable "x" which is the side of the hill to the base of the tree, we have it:
sin 20° = x / 15 ft
x = 15 * sin20°
x = 5.130 feet
Solving for the variable "y", which is the height of the tree, we have it:
tan 45° = (x+y) / a
tan 45° = (5.13 + y) / 14.095
y = 14.095*tan45° - 5.13
y = 8.965 feet
The height of the tree is
8.965 feet.
10 and 20
And now I need 20 characters so I am writing this
<span>80 ft^2
Looking at the figure, you can easily determine that it's made of two separate figures, a rectangle that's 2 feet by 16 feet, and a triangle that has sides of 16 feet, 10 feet, and 10 feet. The triangle can then be divided into two right triangles with a hypotenuse of 10 feet and one leg of 8 feet, so you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the other leg (which is also the height of the large triangle mentioned above). That value is sqrt(10^2 - 8^2) = sqrt(100 - 64) = sqrt(36) = 6.
So we now know that the large 16,10,10 triangle has a base of 16 and a height of 6. So let's calculate the area of the entire figure.
A = 2*16 + 16*6/2
A = 32 + 16*3
A = 32 + 48
A = 80
So the area of the entire figure is 80 square feet.</span>
Answer:
Altitude of Equilateral Triangle h = (1/2) * √3 * a. Angles of Equilateral Triangle: A = B = C = 60° Sides of Equilateral Triangle: a = b = c.
