Answer:

9.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the picture.

Let f represent how high up the bird is in the tree.

This side length of the right triangle is opposite the given angle which is 25 degrees.

The side length adjacent to the given angle is 20 ft.

We use the tangent ratio to obtain:

\tan 25\degree=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

We substitute the values to obtain:

\tan 25\degree=\frac{f}{20}

f=20\tan 25\degree

f=9.3 ft

Therefore the bird is 9.3 feet high up in the tree.

so you would multiply 4 by 3 and get 12
you then would add 1

Find the height of a triangle with an area (A) of 35 square inches and base of 7 use the formula A= 1/2bh
slega [8]

Answer:

D. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you divided by 2. You want to multiply to go back wards.

35×2=70

They already give you base(b=7) so to find the height you need to divide to go backwards since you multipled bh.

70÷7=10

now plug it in to see if the equation is right.

35= 1÷2 (7×10)
