See the attached diagram.

In the right triangle, x is opposite the 23.6 degree angle, and the adjacent side is 250 m.  This suggests using the tangent ratio.

\frac{x}{250}=\tan 23.6 ^\circ \\ x=250 \cdot \tan 23.6^\circ \approx 109.2

Finally, to get the height of the tree, add Sarah's height, 1.5 m.

The tree is approximately 110.7m tall.

1.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

She will give up making $28,000 per year for 2 years.  This means that she will give up making $56,000 in total.

$28,000 × 2 = $56,000

She also pay $34,000 in total to costs to get her degree.  She invested a total of $90,000.

$56,000 + $34,000 = $90,000

90,000/60,000 = 1.5

maria [59]

Answer:

Each algebra book costs $60.

Step-by-step explanation:

A=bill for algebra books; S=bill for science books=A+$360

S+A=$3960 Substitute for S

A+$360+A=$3960 Subtract $360 from each side.

2A=$3600 Divide each side by 2.

A=$1800 The order for 30 algebra books cost $1800.

Individual book=A/30

individual book=$1800/30=$60 ANSWER: Each algebra book cost $60.
