yw :)

Answer 5

I have another one, I need it explained tho @Mehek14

Answer 6

k I'll see if I can explain

Answer 7

An observer (O) is located 660 feet from a tree (T). The observer notices a hawk (H) flying at a 35° angle of elevation from his line of sight. How high is the hawk flying over the tree? You must show all work and calculations to receive full credit.

Answer 8

Did you find anything when you searched it up?

Answer 9

not how I needed it, I need the steps and the answer

Answer 10

ok I'll see if I can explain it in the simplest way I can

Answer 11

You have the angle 35

Answer 12

you use tan so
tan(35)

Answer 13

What is the tan(35), like the equation?

Answer 14

.

Answer 15

tan is the function in which opposite/adjacent sides

Answer 16

the opposite side of 35 is h and the adjacent has the measure of 660

Answer 17

so tan(35) = h/660

Answer 18

okay...

Answer 19

so in all equations, you isolate the variable right?

Answer 20

so since you are dividing h/660
you multiply tan(35) * 660

Answer 21

Okay, is that all?
What is the final answer?

Answer 22

@Mehek14

Answer 23

well multiply tan (35) * 660 and you get the answer

Answer 24

definetan please?

Answer 25

Define Tan**

Answer 26

use a scientific calculatorand multiply that

Answer 27

tan is a function in which you solve opposite side/adjacent side?

Answer 28

312.71?

Answer 29

tan (35) = 0.7
0.7*660=462

Answer 30

OHH! thank you!!
