A tree is leaning at a 5° angle from vertical, making an 85° angle with the ground. When the sun is at a 65° angle of elevation,

the tree casts a 25-foot shadow. What is the approximate length of the tree?

D = 25 ft is the length of a shadow. L -  the length of a tree.
Two angles are 85° and 65° and the third is 180° - ( 65° + 85° ) =
= 180° - 150° = 30°.
We will use the Sine Law:
25 / sin 30° = L / sin 65°
25 / 0.5 = L / 0.9063
25 * 0.9063 = 0.5 L
22.6577 = 0.5 L
L = 22.6577 : 0.5
L = 45.3 ft.
Answer: the approximate length of the tree is 45.3 ft.

Which of the following diagrams represents 80%?<br><br>Help please. it'd be very appreciated. :)​
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

H

Step-by-step explanation:

there is 10 parts to the shape so your denominator would be 10 then if you count the shaded area there's 8, so 8 would be your numerator

8/10 = 0.8 or 80%

Simplify <br> cosx ( tanx+cotx)
Soloha48 [4]
The first step to solving this is to use tan(t) = \frac{sin(t)}{cos(t)} to transform this expression.
cos(x) × ( \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)} + cot(x) )
Using cot(t) = \frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)},, transform the expression again.
cos(x) × ( \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)} +  \frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)} )
Next you need to write all numerators above the least common denominator (cos(x)sin(x)).
cos(x) × \frac{sin(x)^{2} + cos(x)^{2}  }{cos(x)sin(x)}
Using sin(t)² + cos(t)² = 1,, simplify the expression. 
cos(x) × \frac{1}{cos(x)sin(x)}
Reduce the expression with cos(x).
\frac{1}{sin(x)}
Lastly,, use \frac{1}{sin(t)} = csc(t) to transform the expression and find your final answer.
csc(x)
This means that the final answer to this expression is csc(x).
Let me know if you have any further questions.
