Answer to Problem 4STP
The option F and H is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The shortest distance from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite.
An altitude of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side and perpendicular to the line containing that side.
Hence, option F is correct.
Also,
A median might not perpendicular to the side. So option H is incorrect. A diameter
Is used in a
Therefore, option J and F is correct.

- 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
