a.
To determine the geometric figures.
a.

Answer to Problem 12CYU
Points
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Ursa Minor
Calculation:
Concluding from the given figure, the Ursa Minor represents points with no specific shape or size.
b.
To determine the collinear stars
b.

Answer to Problem 12CYU
Star 1, star 2 and star 3 are not collinear.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Ursa Minor
Formula used:
Collinear point definition
Calculation:
Collinear points lie on the same line. Concluding from the shape of Ursa Minor, star1, star2 and star3 are not collinear.
c.
To determine the coplanar stars
c.

Answer to Problem 12CYU
Polaris, star 2 and star 6 are coplanar
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Ursa Minor
Formula used:
Coplanar definition
Calculation:
Coplanar are the points which lie on the same plane. From the image, all the three stars appear on the same plane, hence Polaris, star 2 and star 6 are coplanar.

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
