a tree on a 30degree slope grows straight up .what are the measure of the greatest and smallest angles the tree make with the hill?
you discovered that if a pair of angle is a linear pair ,the the angles are supplementary. does that mean that all supplementary angles form a linear pair of angles? is the converse true?
the ratio of m<2 to m<1 is 5:1. what the measure of these two angle?
To determine the angles that the tree makes with the hill, we can consider creating a right triangle with the hill as the slope and the tree as the height. In a right triangle, the angle between the height and the ground represents the angle the tree makes with the hill.
Since the slope is at a 30-degree angle, the angle the tree makes with the ground would be 90 degrees - 30 degrees = 60 degrees.
To find the smallest angle that the tree makes with the hill, we consider the right triangle formed by the tree and the ground. The smallest angle would be the angle between the height and the ground, which is 60 degrees.
For the greatest angle, we consider the right triangle formed by the tree and the slope. The greatest angle would be the angle between the height and the slope. In this case, it would be a right angle (90 degrees) since the tree grows straight up on the slope.
Therefore, the measure of the greatest angle the tree makes with the hill is 90 degrees, and the measure of the smallest angle is 60 degrees.
As for the second question, if a pair of angles is supplementary, it means the sum of the two angles is 180 degrees. In this case, it does not necessarily mean that the angles form a linear pair of angles. A linear pair of angles is a pair of adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines, where the angles together form a straight line (180 degrees).
The converse, meaning if all supplementary angles form a linear pair of angles, is not true. Not all pairs of supplementary angles are linear pairs. Linear pairs are specifically formed by intersecting lines, whereas supplementary angles can be formed by any two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.
To determine the angles the tree makes with the hill, we can visualize the situation and use basic trigonometry concepts.
First, let's understand the scenario. We have a tree growing straight up on a 30-degree slope, which implies that the tree is perpendicular to the level ground. We need to find the greatest and smallest angles the tree forms with the hill.
To do this, we can draw a right triangle representing the situation. The hypotenuse of the triangle represents the hill, the side adjacent to the 30-degree angle represents the tree, and the side opposite the 30-degree angle represents the perpendicular distance from the tree to the hill.
Using trigonometric ratios, we can find the values of these angles. The adjacent side over the hypotenuse in a right triangle is expressed as the cosine of the angle. Therefore, the cosine of 30 degrees gives us the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle of the tree to the hypotenuse (slope of the hill).
Now, let's calculate the angles:
1. Smallest angle (θ1):
To find the smallest angle the tree makes with the hill, we need to consider the angle formed between the tree and the perpendicular line directly below it. This angle is complementary to the 30-degree angle because the perpendicular is at a 90-degree angle to the slope of the hill. Therefore, the smallest angle the tree makes with the hill is 90 degrees - 30 degrees = 60 degrees.
2. Greatest angle (θ2):
To find the greatest angle the tree makes with the hill, we need to consider the angle formed between the tree and the hypotenuse representing the slope of the hill. This angle can be found using inverse trigonometric functions. Since we know the adjacent side (slope of the hill) and the hypotenuse, we can use the arccosine (inverse cosine) function to find this angle. The greatest angle the tree makes with the hill is arccos(cos(30 degrees)).
Now, let's answer the second part of your question regarding linear pairs and supplementary angles:
A linear pair of angles is formed when two adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees. In other words, if you have two angles that are supplementary (their sum is 180 degrees), then they form a linear pair.
However, it is not true that all supplementary angles necessarily form a linear pair. Supplementary angles can be located anywhere and may not always be adjacent, unlike a linear pair where the angles are adjacent and share a common vertex and side.
In summary, while all linear pairs are supplementary, not all supplementary angles form a linear pair.
