The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.
The correct answer is 2 1/6.
Good Luck...:)
Answer:
$1000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of years.
We have been given that Tommy purchased a riding lawnmower with an original value of $2,500. The value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year. We are asked to find the value of lawnmower after 5 years.
Since the value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year, so value of lawnmower decrease in 5 years would be 5 times $300.
The final value of lawnmower would be initial value minus value decreased in 5 years.



Therefore, the value of lawnmower after years would be $1000.
