We need to find a tree such that the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to top of the tree is 40 degrees.
The length of the shadow is the adjacent side and is 35.
The height of the tree is the opposite side. Let it be x.
Tan ratio = opposite/adjacent
tan(40) = x/35
x = 35*tan(40) = 29.37
Answer: Height of the tree is 29 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
b1 = 12
b2 = 50
h = 21
Area = ?
Equation
Area = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
Solution
Area = (12 + 50) * 21 / 2
Area = 62 * 21 / 2
Area = 31 * 21
Area = 651
77%
I like to use ratios and cross multiply for problems like this. Take the part (1001) over the whole (1300), and that equals x percent of 100 percent.
1001/1300 = x/100
100100 = 1300x
x = 77
To get the answer, all you have to do is plug in 1 into the equation.
So, it would be -2(1) - 2 -> -2 -2 -> -4
The answer is -4
Hope this helps!
