The picture below shows a portion of a river dam:

A right angle triangle is shown with the measure of the acute angle at the tip equal to 65 degrees and length of base equal to

Which of the following can be used to calculate the height of the river dam? (6 points)

Group of answer choices

145 tan 65°

145 cos 65°

145 divided by tan 65 degrees

145 divided by cos 65 degrees

Respuesta :

The answer would be option (C) which is 145 divided by tan 65 degrees.

What is the right triangle?

A right triangle is defined as a triangle in which one angle is a right angle or two sides are perpendicular.

A right-angle triangle is shown with the measure of the acute angle at the tip equal to 65 degrees

Given that the tangent's equation is opposite/adjacent,

The height you're wanting to determine is h.

⇒ tan(65)=145/h

⇒ tan(65) * h = 145

To isolate the h, divide tan(65) and you will obtain:

⇒ h = 145/tan(65)

Hence, the answer would be option (C) which is 145 divided by tan 65 degrees.
