If the angle of elevation from the cat to the bird cage is 25° and the height from the ground to the bird cage is 63 inches, how far does the cat have to walk to get directly underneath the bird cage?

Respuesta :

Answer:

135 inches to the nearest inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this right triangle the opposite side =  63 in and we require the adjacent side, so we have:

tan 25  = opposite side/ adjacent side

tan 25 = 63 / x

x = 63 / tan 25

x = 135.104 inches.
