The complete question in the attached figure 

step 1
find the tree height for an angle of elevation of 55°<span> 
tan 55</span>°=opposite side angle 55°/adjacent side angle 55°
opposite side angle 55°=the tree height h1
adjacent side angle 55°=10 ft
so
tan 55°=h/10-------> h=10*tan 55°-----> h=14.28 ft

step 2
find the tree height for an angle of elevation of 75° 
tan 75°=opposite side angle 75°/adjacent side angle 75°
opposite side angle 75°=the tree height h2
adjacent side angle 75°=10 ft
so
tan 75°=h2/10-------> h2=10*tan 75°-----> h2=37.32 ft

therefore

<span>the height of the tree is within the range [14.26,37.32]
</span>
Part 1) 4.2 ft

<span>the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is </span>Not Reasonable

Part 2) 14.7 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Reasonable

Part 3) 24.4 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Reasonable

Part 4) 33.9 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Reasonable

Part 5) 39.1ft

the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Not Reasonable

Part 6) 58.7 ft

the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Not Reasonable

Find the common ratio and the next term for the sequence shown. Express your answers as fractions or as decimals.
Cerrena [4.2K]
The common ratio of the sequence is calculated by dividing the second term by the first term or dividing the third term by the second term. That is,
                               r = 250 / 333 = 0.75
or                            r = 187 / 250 = 0.748 = 0.75
To get the next term, we multiply 187 by 0.75 giving us an answer of 140.25 or 141.

A roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00. A bet on five numbers pays 6 to 1 (that is, if one of the five numbers
tatiyna

Answer:

5 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

So the roulette wheel would have a total of 38 numbers, which means 38 different possible cases. Since you are allowed to bet on 5 numbers, the chance to win this is 5 out of 38 and to lose this is 33 out of 38.

If you win, you get 1 + 6 = 7 dollar, and if you lose, you lose 1 dollar.

Therefore the expected amount out of this game is:

E = 7\frac{5}{38} - 1\frac{33}{38} = \frac{35}{38} - \frac{33}{38} = \frac{2}{38} = \frac{1}{19} = \$0.0526

or 5 cents
