Answer:

  12.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Trig functions relate the sides and angles in a right triangle. Here, we're given an angle and an adjacent side, and we're asked to find the hypotenuse. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(50°) = DE/CD = (8.1 ft)/CD

Solving for CD, we find ...

  CD = (8.1 ft)/cos(50°) ≈ 12.601 ft

The length of CD is about 12.6 feet.

Which equation would you use to find how high the bird is flying?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way is SOH CAH TOA

SOH is that you use sine if you there is the opposite (in this case the question mark) and hypotenuse (the diagonal line)

CAH is that you use cosine for the adjacent side (1100) and the hypotenuse.

TOA is using tangent for the opposite and adjacent side.

To fine the question mark, you would use tangent. And plug in the given (1100 for the adjacent). So tan45 = x/1100.

If you need more help or clarification, let me know!
