A dog is standing 12 feet from a tree looking at a bird in the tree. the angle of elevation from the dog to the bird is 50°. how

The distance of the bird from the ground will be given by:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
θ=50°
opposite=h
adjacent=12 ft
plugging in the values in the formula we get:
tan 50=h/12
thus
h=12tan50
h=14.301 ft
=14.3 ft

The graph shows the location of point P and point R. Point R is on the y-axis and has the same y-coordinate as point P. Point Q
Mumz [18]

Answer:

n = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinate of P = (n,3)

R is on y-axis & the y-coordinate of P & R are equal. So coordinate of R = (3,0)

Coordinate of Q = (n,-2)

Using distance formula,

Distance between P & Q =

\sqrt{ {( n  -  n}) ^{2} +  {( 3-  ( - 2)  })^{2}   }

=  >  \sqrt{ {(3 + 2)}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{ {5}^{2} }  = 5

Distance between P & R =

\sqrt{ {(n - 0)}^{2} +  {(3 - 3)}^{2}  }

=  >  \sqrt{ {n}^{2} }  = n

But in question it is given that distance between P & Q is equal to the distance between P & R. So,

n = 5

Please help!!!!! geometry
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw out your triangle on a piece of paper, and label each point w, x, and y

We are then told that side wx and yw are similar. This means that we have an isosceles triangle with two similar sides.

We are also told that angle w is equal to 64 degrees

with this information, we can assume that angle y is the same as angle x

Another important thing to note is that all triangle measures equals to 180

SO

we can make this expression:

64 + x + x = 180

Now to solve for x:

64 + x + x = 180

64 + 2x = 180

2x = 116

x = 58

The width of a rectangle is 2/5 its length. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 42<br> meters.
Olin [163]

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P= 2(l+w). By substituting what we now knowin to the equation:

•42=2(l+(2/5l)). We can have width represented at (2/5l) because it’s now 2/5 of the length. Now add them together to get a single coefficient for l.

•42= 2(7/5l). Multiplying 7/5 by 2.

42= (14/5l). Multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 14/5, which is 5/14, to get l by itself.

•l= 15.

Now that we now know the value of l, we know that the length is 15m. To find the width of the answer, we then multiply 15 by 2/5, which equals 6. Therefore, the only third option is correct because the length is 15m and the width is 6m.

Find the distance between the two points.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Hey there!

Distance formula:

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})+(y_{2}-y_{1}) }

Plug in variables:

d = \sqrt{(0-(-6))+(0-(-7))}

Simplify.

d = \sqrt{6+7}

d = \sqrt{13}

The distance between the two points is \sqrt{13}  units.

Hope this helps!
