Answer: approximately 29 feet

Explanation: You need to find a tree so that the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to top of the tree is 40 degrees.

The length of the shadow is an adjacent side and is 35.
The height of the tree is the opposite side.  You could use X.

Tan ratio = opposite/adjacent

tan(40) =  x/35
x = 35*tan(40) =29.37

Negation of all owls fly?
Reptile [31]
Looking at this in terms of sets, let's call O the set of all owls, and F the set of all things that can fly. What this original statement is saying every animal that's a member of the set of all owls is also a member of the set of all things that can fly, or in other words, O⊂F (O is a subset of F). Negating this tells us that, while there's <em>at least one</em> element of O that also belongs to F, O is not contained entirely in F (O⊆F, in notation), so a good negation or our original statement might be:

<em>Not all owls can fly.</em>

Answer:

Hello,

742/27 (ft)

Step-by-step explanation:

h_1=14\\\\h_2=\dfrac{14}{3} \\\\h_3=\dfrac{14}{9} \\\\h_4=\dfrac{14}{27} \\\\

d=14+2*\dfrac{14}{3} +2*\dfrac{14}{9} +2*\dfrac{14}{27} \\=14*(1+\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{2}{9} +\dfrac{2}{27} )\\=14*\dfrac{53}{27} \\=\dfrac{742}{27} \\
