Question

A.)A bird sits at the top of the pole. From its perspective, the angle of depression to point D on the hillside is ___ degrees. (Enter only the number.)
B.)The measure of the angle formed by the pole and the guy wire that attaches to the hill is ____ degrees. (Enter only the number.)
C.)If point D on the hill is 5 feet 6 inches above the base, B, of the pole, what is the shortest distance to the nearest inch, from D to the pole? Express your answer in feet and inches, such as 3 feet 10 inches. (Hint: Find the length of ED.)

Answer 9

yay!

Answer 10

I think that the tringles ABC and ABD are similar each other

Answer 11

Since they are two rectangle triangles, and they have a side in common, namely the side AB. So we can say that the measure of angle ABD is 65 degrees

Answer 12

Ok, I still do not get it

Answer 13

please wait a moment, I'm searching for a justification for a congruence between those 2 triangles

Answer 14

or similarity

Answer 15

I think that we can make the subsequent hypothesis, namely
the 2 angles, CAB and DAB are congruent each other

Answer 16

so we have two rectangle triangles, which have a couple of angle congruent, namely CAB is congruent to DAB. Then those triangles are similar since they have two pairs of congruent angles. Keep in mind that angles ADB and ABC are congruent too

Answer 17

Ok

Answer 18

So, we can say that the angle ABD is congruent to angle ACB, so the measure of angle ABD has to be equal to 65 degrees

Answer 19

I am very confused..
