2. A park ranger is standing on the top of a 125m hill looking down at a tree. She measuring the angle of depression from where she is standing to the base of the
tree as 34º. About how far away is the tree?

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps

i think it would be 42cm

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
