Sure with what? u should have asked ur question
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
Answer:
If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down.

Answer:
x = 10·cos(θ) -4·cot(θ)
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, we are to assume that the horizontal lines are parallel to each other.
The relevant trig relations are ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
If the junction point in the middle of AB is labeled X, then we have ...
sin(θ) = 4/BX ⇒ BX = 4/sin(θ)
cos(θ) = x/XA ⇒ XA = x/cos(θ)
Then ...
BX +XA = AB = 10
Substituting for BX and XA using the above relations, we get
4/sin(θ) +x/cos(θ) = 10
Solving for x gives ...
x = (10 -4/sin(θ))·cos(θ)
x = 10·cos(θ) -4·cot(θ) . . . . . simplify
_____
We used the identity ...
cot(θ) = cos(θ)/sin(θ)
