Draw a right triangle to represent the problem.
The vertical height of the triangle is 9 ft, and it represents the tree.
The horizontal length, at the bottom of the tree is ground level and has a length of 13 ft.
Let x = angle of elevation.
By definition,
tan x = 9/13 = 0.6923
x = arctan(0.6923) = 34.7 deg. = 35 deg (approx)
Answer: 35°
She should use 13 factors.
All 13 factors are the same thing . . . 7 .
7^13 should be written as 7¹³ .
It means: 7·7·7 · 7·7·7 · 7·7·7 · 7·7·7 · 7

Answers:</h3>
- ST = 23
- RU = 8
- SV = 5
- SU = 10
====================================================
Explanation:
Focus on triangles SVT and UVT.
They are congruent triangles due to the fact that SV = VU and VT = VT. From there we can use the LL (leg leg) theorem for right triangles to prove them congruent.
Since the triangles are the same, just mirrored, this means ST = UT = 23.
-----------------------
Following similar reasoning as the previous section, we can prove triangle RVU = triangle RVS.
Therefore, RS = RU = 8
-----------------------
SV = VU = 5 because RT bisects SU.
Bisect means to cut in half. The two smaller pieces are equal.
-----------------------
SU = SV + VU = 5+5 = 10
Refer to the segment addition postulate.
1/3 (0.333,,,) is 0.05666... away from 0.39 .
2/5 (0.4) is 0.01 away .
3.8 (0.375) is 0.015 away .
9/25 (0.36) is 0.3 away .
2/5 is the closest one.
