To find the distance between the two point without using distance formula

Answer to Problem 4WE
The value of AB are 5
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given point is
Calculation:
The distance between the two points can be calculated as
Let, coordinate of
Let, T be the coordinate that are draw the horizontal and vertical line of the two given points
The coordinates of T are
Then,
Since, AT represents distance, AT cannot be negative
So,
And
Since, BT represents distance, BT cannot be negative
So,
Therefore,
Hence,
The value of AB are 5

- Mariela 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_forward20arrow_forward
