Since this is a similar triangle problem, we will put the corresponding measurements with the other triangle. Then cross multiply.

\frac{x}{8}=\frac{30}{5}

Solve.

5x=240

x=48

The height of the tree is 48 feet.

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relations are summarized by the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA. This means ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

So, for each triangle, determine the relationships of the given sides to the given angle: adjacent, opposite, or hypotenuse. Then write and solve the equation using one of the above templates.

75(1+0.2/12)^10*12 what is the answer
Alchen [17]

Answer:

545.119

Step-by-step explanation:

75 * (1 + .2/12)^10 * 12

75 * (1.016667)^10*12

Now things get a little tricky. What does 10*12 mean? I'm taking it to mean 120

75 * (1.016667)^120

75 * 7.268

545.119
