Answer:
174.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)
We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...
180° -30° -112° = 38°
Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.
c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)
c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft
The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.

Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a coefficient matrix along and not the solution matrix
Since solution matrix is not given we cannot check for infinity solutions.
But we can check whether coefficient matrix is 0 or not
If coefficient matrix is zero, the system is inconsistent and hence no solution.
Option A)
|A|=
since II row is a multiple of I row
Hence no solution or infinite
OPtion B
|B|=
Hence no solution or infinite
Option C
Hence there will be a unique solution
Option D
=0
(since I row is -5 times III row)
Hence there will be no or infinite solution
Option C is the correct answer
