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°

Write each fraction as the sum of a whole number and a fraction less than 1
Tpy6a [65]

Given:

The fractions are:

\dfrac{6}{5},\dfrac{11}{7},\dfrac{21}{4}

To find:

The each fraction as the sum of a whole number and a fraction less than 1.

Solution:

The given fraction is \dfrac{6}{5}.

\dfrac{6}{5}=\dfrac{5+1}{5}

\dfrac{6}{5}=\dfrac{5}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}

\dfrac{6}{5}=1+\dfrac{1}{5}

Therefore, the given fraction \dfrac{6}{5} can be written as 1+\dfrac{1}{5}.

The given fraction is \dfrac{11}{7}.

\dfrac{11}{7}=\dfrac{7+4}{7}

\dfrac{11}{7}=\dfrac{7}{7}+\dfrac{4}{7}

\dfrac{11}{7}=1+\dfrac{4}{7}

Therefore, the given fraction \dfrac{11}{7} can be written as 1+\dfrac{4}{7}.

The given fraction is \dfrac{21}{4}.

\dfrac{21}{4}=\dfrac{20+1}{4}

\dfrac{21}{4}=\dfrac{20}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}

\dfrac{21}{4}=5+\dfrac{1}{4}

Therefore, the given fraction \dfrac{21}{4} can be written as 5+\dfrac{1}{4}.
