This is the concept of geometry, the height of the tree will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
theta=24
opposite=h
adjacent=26m
thus;
tan 24=h/26
hence;
h=26tan24
h=10.29
=10 m

xxMikexx [17]
If you can't split up the peanut butter cups, the identical bags would each have 1 chocolate bar and 1 peanut butter cup because 30 cannot be devided between 18 bags as whole numbers more than once.

A 3650​-year-old wooden chest is found by archaeologists. What percentage of the original Superscript 14 Baseline Upper C would
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

64.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount N° = ?

Remaining amount after decay = N = ?

k = decay constant =  0.00012 yr^{-1}

t = time = 3650​ year

fraction remaining will be N/N°

From the decay equation, N = N°e^{-kt}

N/N° = e^{-kt}

N/N° = e^{-0.00012 x 3650 }

N/N° = e^{-0.438}

N/N° = 0.645 = 64.5%
