Answer:
149.43 feet tall
Step-by-step explanation:
From the base of a large tree, a bird watcher is standing 50 feet away.
There is 71.5° of elevation from the bird watcher to a bird on the top of the tree.
If we ignore the height of the observer and consider the height of the tree as h feet, then using trigonometry we can write that
tan 71.5° = =
Hence, h = 50 tan 71.5° =149.43 feet.
Therefore, the tree is 149.43 feet tall. (Answer)
Answer:
53 lies between 7.2² and 7.3²
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimating a root to the nearest tenth can be done a number of ways. The method shown here is to identify the tenths whose squares bracket the value of interest.
You have answered the questions of parts 1 to 3.
__
<h3>4.</h3>You are given that ...
7.2² = 51.84
7.3² = 53.29
This means 53 lies between 7.2² and 7.3², so √53 lies between 7.2 and 7.3.
53 is closer to 7.3², so √53 will be closer to 7.3 than to 7.2.
7.3 is a good estimate of √53 to the tenths place.

<em>Additional comment</em>
For an integer n that is the sum of a perfect square (s²) and a remainder (r), the square root is between ...
s +r/(2s+1) < √n < s +r/(2s)
For n = 53 = 7² +4, this means ...
7 +4/15 < √53 < 7 +4/14
7.267 < √53 < 7.286
Either way, √53 ≈ 7.3.
