Answer to Problem 34WE
The measure of a complement of an angle can be equal to exactly half the measure of supplement of the angle only for the angle zero
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The measure of a complement of an angle is exactly halt the measure of a supplement of the angle
Suppose that the measure of the angle be
Then the measure of its supplement is
Then the measure of its complement is
The measure of a complement of the angle is exactly half the measure of the supplement of the angle implies that
Simplifying this gives
This is possible only if the measure of the angle is
Thus, the measure of a complement of an angle can be equal to exactly half the measure of supplement of the angle only for the angle zero

- 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
