Alamppost, cab, bent at point a after a storm. the tip of the lamppost touched the ground at point c, as shown below: triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 60 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 14 feet. what is the height, in feet, of the portion ab of the lamppost?

The height of the portion AB of the lamppost is 14 tan(60°) or 14√3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the tip of the lamppost touched the ground at point C, as shown below:

Triangle ABC has measure of angle C equal to 60 degrees, measure of angle ABC equal to 90 degrees, and length of BC equal to 14 feet.

Here, AB is perpendicular, BC is base and AC is hypotenuse.

In a right angled triangle,

Therefore the height of the portion AB of the lamppost is 14 tan(60°) or 14√3 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
