What is the relationship between the angle of elevation and the highest point?
If the base of the elevation is at a distance d from the observer, then the highest point is at a height = d*tan(angle of elevation)
In an isosceles triangle if a base angle has a measure of 43 degrees then the vertex angle must have a measure of 80 degrees as well true or false?
False because if each base angle is 43 degrees then the apex angle must be 94 degrees
The angle of elevation to the top of a building from a position on the ground 100 meters from the base of the building is 40 degrees how tall is the building?
tan40=x/100 100tan(40)=83.9m
Can a base angle of an isosceles triangle be a right angle?
No but its apex angle can be a right angle with 2 equal base angles of 45 degrees
A base angle of an isosceles triangle is 6 degrees more than the vertex angle. Find the vertex angle?
56 degrees
What is the angle of elevation for the ramp that is 20 feet away from the wall and 15 feet tall?
height = 15 ft base = 20 ft angle of elevation = arctan (15/20) = 36.87 degrees
If a man 5 ft tall observes that the angle of depression of the base of the pole is 30 degrees and that the angle of elevation of the top of the pol is 60 degrees how high is the pole in feet?
25 feet
What is the relationship between the angle of elevation and the highest point?
If the base of the elevation is at a distance d from the observer, then the highest point is at a height = d*tan(angle of elevation)
The captain of a ship sights the top of a lighthouse at an angle of 12 degrees The captain knows that the lighthouse is 24m above sea level What is the distance from the ship to the lighthouse?
X = 24 / (tan 12o) X = 112.9111 m In a right angled triangle, the lighthouse is the opposite the distance between the ship and lighthouse is the base and the hypotenuse is the captain looking at the top of the lighthouse it is 400.9675876
Simple angle of elevation word problem?
A simple angle of elevation problem...You want to find out the height of a tree. You measure the distance from you to the base and find that it is 100 feet. You measure the angle of elevation of the top and find that it is 30 degrees. You are six feet tall. How tall is the tree?Answer: The tree is 64 feet tall. Its height is tangent 30 times 100 + 6.
The exterior angle of a base angle in an isosceles triangle is 100 degrees What is the measure of the vertex angle?
20 degrees
5 If the non-base angle of an isosceles triangle has a measure of 70 degrees what is the measure of each base angle?
55 degrees
How many degrees are the angles of the base if the first angle 70 degrees?
If it's an isosceles triangle and the apex angle is 70 degrees then the base angles will each measure 55 degrees
In an isosceles triangle if a base angle has a measure of 43 degrees then the vertex angle must have a measure of 80 degrees as well true or false?
False because if each base angle is 43 degrees then the apex angle must be 94 degrees
