In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse

The distance from the top of the tree to the shadow is 40.8 ft.

From the given figure:

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 36= 33/H 
H=33/cos 6= 40.8 ft

Which is bigger 40% of 200 or 1/3 of 150
Gnesinka [82]
First find out what 40% of 200 is
200 times .4 is 80

then find out what 1/3 of 150 is
divide 150 by three, which is 50
if it was 2/3 instead of 1/3, you would multiply 50 by 2

40% of 200 is greater
