a tree casts a shadow that is 20 ft long. the angle of elevation of the sun is 29°. how tall is the tree?

1 answer:

3 0

You can use the trig ratios. Draw a diagram to see which one is appropriate.
Tan would be used.
Tan29=x/20
20Tan29=x
Put this into your calculator and see what you get

Answer:

$T = 1300$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Radius, r = 9\ in$

$Height, h = 14\ in$

See attachment

Required

Determine the total surface area, T

T is calculated using:

$T = 2\pi r(r + h)$

Substitute values for r and h

$T = 2\pi * 9(9 + 14)$

$T = 2\pi * 9(23)$

Remove bracket

$T = 2\pi * 9*23$

$T = 2\pi * 207$

Take $\pi = 3.14$

So, we have:

$T = 2 * 3.14 * 207$

$T = 1299.96$

$T = 1300$ --- approximated.

Hence, the surface area is 1300 square inch

HELP ASAP HELP PLEASE ASAP

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

WXYZ can not be a rectangle because consecutive sides are not perpendicular to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices are W(-4,3), X(1,5), Y(3,1) and Z(-2,-1).

Plot these points on coordinate plane and draw the quadrilateral as shown below.

$Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Using this formula, we get

$m_{WX}=\dfrac{5-3}{1-(-4)}=\dfrac{2}{5}$

$m_{XY}=\dfrac{1-5}{3-1}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2$

Now,

$m_{WX}\times =\dfrac{2}{5}\times (-2)=-\dfrac{4}{5}\neq -1$

Here, WX and XY are two consecutive sides of quadrilateral but the product of their slopes is not equal to -1. It means they are not perpendicular to each other.

Since, all interior angles of a rectangle are right angles, therefore, WXYZ can not be a rectangle.
