A mouse spots an owl flying 10.1 feet over a nearby bush. The mouse is 30 feet away from the bush, and it sees the owl at a certain angle of elevation.

Which trigonometric equation can be used to solve for x, the angle of elevation from the mouse to the owl?

Respuesta :

It's the first one ([tex]10.1 = 30 tan x[/tex]). 10.1m makes the opposite side and 30m makes the adjacent side of the right angle triangle. [tex]tanx = 10.1/30[/tex], so 30 tan x[/tex]= [tex]10.1.
