Answer:

23°

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply Pythagorean theorem to determine the missing length, Hypotenuse:

h^2+b^2=H^2\\\\70^2+30^2=H^2\\\\H=\sqrt{5800}\\\\=76.15773\ ft

This hypotenuse corresponds to the right triangle and the tree's height, corresponds to the angle of elevation:

-We apply the law of Sines;

\frac{a}{Sin \ A}=\frac{b}{Sin\ B}\\\\\\\frac{76.15773}{Sin \ 90}=\frac{30}{Sin\  h}\\\\h=Sin^{-1}\frac{30}{76.15773}\\\\=23.19859\approx 23\textdegree

Hence, the angle of elevation is 23°

enot [183]

Answer:

Candidate receives 2250 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of votes A : B = 75 : 25  = 3 : 1

3 : 1 = x : 750

Product of means = Product of extremes

1 *x = 3*750

  x = 3 *750

     = 2250
