About 104 ft

To find out how tall the tree is, you can draw a diagram to help you picture it.

Picture the tree and you as a triangle. You are 55 ft from the tree. That means that the base of your triangle is 55 ft. The opposite side is the straight side you are trying to find. Let's say that value is x. Then, you have the angle of elevation from your eyes to the top of the tree, which is 61˚.

Tangent ratio = opposite side/adjacent side. These are the sides we have, so we are going to use them by using a tangent ratio.

So, now we have arrived at our equation: tan 61 = x/55

We can simplify this easily by multiplying 55 on both sides. x ÷ 55 = tan 61. x ÷ 55 • 55 = 55 • tan 61. So, x = 55 • tan 61 ≈ 99.2 ft

But, we still have to account for the height of your eyes. To do this, we just add 4.5 ft to 99.2 ft = 103.7 ≈ 104, so the tree is about 104 ft tall

Min wants to make 100 name tags with ribbon attached to them. Each name tag requires 5 centimeters of ribbon. She has 3.25 meter
Kisachek [45]
3.25 meters = 325 cm

325cm / 5 cm= 65 name tags with the ribbon she has.

She still needs 35 name tags, so 35 × 5 = 175cm cm.

She still needs 175cm of ribbon to make a total of 100 name tags.
