Answer: 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.  

Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side

Where α is the angle of elevation to the sun, , the opposite side (x) is the height of the tree, and the adjacent side is the length of the shadow.

Replacing with the values given:  

Tan 31 = x /25

Tan 31 (25) =x

x = 15 feet

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of all angles of triangle = 180°

6p + 6p + 3 p = 180

15p = 180

p = 180/15

p = 12

Angles are:

6p = 6*12 = 72°

3p = 3*12 = 36°

Angles are: 72°, 72° , 36°
