Answer 1

@ganeshie8 ?

Answer 2

we're given height : \(y = 15\tan(\theta)\)

Answer 3

for part a, simply plugin \(\theta = 30\) and evaluate
(use ur calculator)

Answer 4

so solve this? y=15tan(30) ?

Answer 5

yes, just evaluate

Answer 6

so would it be y=5√3

Answer 7

Correct !

Answer 8

hope u knw what needs to be done for partb :)

Answer 9

do we do the same thing except with y=15tan(40) ?

Answer 10

@ganeshie8 ?

Answer 11

would part b just be 0?

Answer 12

@ganeshie8 can you help me with part c?

Answer 13

to find the area, we want to break the triangle into two right triangles. that way we can use the area equation of 1/2*base*height

so lets start with either 30 or 40 degrees, which do you want to do first?

Answer 14

lets do 30

Answer 15

now here we've broken them up into two, now what is the length of the bottom side of each triangle?
