Using similarity principle, the height of the tree is 1.97 meters

<h3>How to find height of the tree?</h3>

He is 1.75 meters tall.

His shadow = 33.7 meters

The length of the tree shadows = 37.95 meters

Using similarity principles where the corresponding length are a ratio of each other.

Therefore,

1.75 / x = 33.7 / 37.95

cross multiply

37.95 × 1.75 = 33.7x

66.4125 = 33.7x

divide both sides by 33.7

x = 66.4125 / 33.7

x = 1.97069732938

x = 1.97 meters

Answer:

133.97 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by:

V = \frac13 \pi r^2h

r is half the diameter, so 4 cm

h is 8 cm

So:

V= 1/3 * 3.14 * 16 * 8 ≈ 133.97 cm³

An 85-foot rope from the top of a tree house to the ground forms a 45 degree angle of elevation from the ground. How high is the
Feliz [49]

Answer:

\boxed{h=60.1\ ft }

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles </u>

They have a right angle (90°) and a longer side called the hypotenuse opposite to the right angle. The legs and the hyponetuse form two angles that must sum 90°, and they comply:

\displaystyle sin\ \alpha=\frac {opp-leg}{hypotenuse}

Where opp-leg is the opposite leg to \alpha.

The rope from the top of a tree house is 85-foot long. It's the hypotenuse (L) of the triangle it forms with the ground and the tree. The angle of 45° is opposite to the height of the tree (h).

\displaystyle sin\ \alpha=\frac {h}{L}

We can solve for h

h=L\ sin\alpha =85\ sin\ 45^o

\boxed{h=60.1\ ft }
