The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are 21° 19' and 16°20'.
1) Convert the angles to decimal form:
19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°
20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°
2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.
You can form a triangle with
- horizontal leg x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)
You can form a second triangle with:
- horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x => h = x * tan(21.32)
Now equal the two expressions for h:
(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet
=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.
Answer: 76.39 feet
Answer:
20.0%
Step-by-step explanation:
The last 30 presidents of America starts from the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln and ends with the current and 45th president, Donald Trump.
The presidents that are 60 and above years during this period include
Donald Trump, Goerge H. W. Bush, Roland Regan, Gerald Ford, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Harry S. Truman.
Making 6 of them out of 30
The percentage is given by
Number of presidents aged 60 and above×100/Total number of presidents
6×30/100=20%

Answer:
8 < x < 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider an angle slightly less than 180 between the 4 and 12 ft sides. The measure between the 2 end points is slightly less than the total of the two sides. So the greatest length is 16.
Consider an angle slightly more than 0 between the 4 and 12 ft sides. The measure between the 2 end points is slightly more than the difference between the two sides. So the lowest length is 8.
