Let tree's height = h

h/80 = tan 30
⇒ h = 80 tan 30
⇒ h = 80 * 1/√3
⇒ h = 46.19 ft

Find sin 0, where is the angle shown.<br> Give an exact value, not a decimal approximation.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

sinθ = $\frac{24}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given triangle,

Hypotenuse² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

= (24)² + 7²

Hypotenuse = √625 = 25

By applying sine rule in the given triangle,

sinθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Since, measure of opposite side = 24

Measure of hypotenuse = 25

Therefore, sinθ = $\frac{24}{25}$ will be the answer.

A frog is hopping along in a straight line. Each hop is twice as far as its previous hop. Its first hop covers 1 inch. After 8 h

torisob [31]

The frog's jump represent a geometric series.
The sum of finite geometric series can be solved using the equation:
Sn = ao ( (1-r^n)/(1-r) )

Plugging in the values,
S8 = 1 ( (1-2^8)/(1-2) )
S8 = 255

Therefore, after 8 hops, the frog will have traveled 255 inches
