Draw a right triangle to represent the problem.
The vertical height of the triangle is 9 ft, and it represents the tree.
The horizontal length, at the bottom of the tree is ground level and has a length of 13 ft.

Let x =  angle of elevation.

By definition,
tan x = 9/13 = 0.6923
x = arctan(0.6923) = 34.7 deg. = 35 deg (approx)

Answer: 35°

arsen [322]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial area is 40 square feet

Final area is 28 square feet

Difference between the initial and final areas will be 40-28=12 square feet

Taking the initial area as the base area and expressing the area change in percentage then the percentage decrease will be equivalent to

\frac {12\times 100}{40}=30

Therefore,  the decrease in area expressed as a percentage is equal to 30%

prohojiy [21]

As in each table can seat 8 people and the probability you need to find is about the first person you can ignore this data.

Probability that the first person to enter the room will be randomly seated at a maple table:

P(maple)=\frac{#maple\text{ }tables}{#total\text{ }tables}

#maple tables: 9

# total tables: 9 +10 +5 +7=31

P(maple)=\frac{9}{31}Then, the probability that the first person to enter the room will be randomly seated at a maple table is 9/31
