1. What is the angle formed by the support line and the ground? 2. How high up the tree is the support line attached? Use trigonometric ratios to find this value and confirm your answer with the Pythagorean Theorem. For full credit your answer must include: Calculation of Z8, rounded to the tenths place, with all work shown, or an explanation of your steps. • The steps you took to solve for h, the height at which the support line is attached to the tree. Include your initial equation and show each step to solve for h using trigonometric ratios. Verify your work using the Pythagorean theorem. Attach any necessary files before submitting the question.
