Answer:

<u>56.5 ft</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure which represents the explanation of the problem.

We need to find the length of the tree to which is the length of AD

From the graph ∠BAC = 90° and ∠ABD = 76°, AB = 18 ft

At ΔABD:

∠BAD = ∠BAC - ∠DAC = 90° - 4° = 86°

∠ADB = 180° - ( ∠BAD + ∠ABD) = 180 - (86+76) = 180 - 162 = 18°

Apply the sine rule at ΔABD

∴\frac{AB}{SinD} =\frac{AD}{sinB}

∴ 18/sin 18 = AD/sin 76

∴ AD = 18 * (sin 76)/(sin 18) ≈ 56.5 (to the nearest tenth of a foot)

So, The length of the tree = 56.5 ft.

<u>The answer is 56.5 ft</u>

Answer:

The simplified expression is:

\frac{2}{5}y+\frac{1}{5}x-0.2y-6+\left(-2\right)=0.2y+0.2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\frac{2}{5}y+\frac{1}{5}x-0.2y-6+\left(-2\right)

\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a

=\frac{2}{5}y+\frac{1}{5}x-0.2y-6-2

\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}

=\frac{2}{5}y-0.2y+\frac{1}{5}x-6-2

Add similar elements

=0.2y+\frac{1}{5}x-6-2

=0.2y+\frac{x}{5}-6-2

=0.2y+\frac{x}{5}-8

=0.2y+0.2x-8

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\frac{2}{5}y+\frac{1}{5}x-0.2y-6+\left(-2\right)=0.2y+0.2x-8
