An observer, whose eyes are 1.98 m above the ground, is standing 39.2 m away from a tree. The ground is level, and the tree is g

rowing perpendicular to it. The observer's line of sight with the treetop makes an angle of 20.9° above the horizontal. How tall is the tree?

Answer:

The tree is 16.25 m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is a diagram that better explains the problem.

From the diagram we see that the distance between the top of the tree and the line of sight of the observer is x.

To find the height of the tree, we need to first find x and then add it to the height of the observers line of sight from the ground.

Using SOHCAHTOA trigonometric function:

tan(20) = x/39.2

=> x = 39.2 * tan(20)

x = 39.2 * 0.364

x = 14.27m

Hence, the height of the tree is:

(14.27 + 1.98)m

16.25m

The tree is 16.25 m tall.

9 (m+5)-3(m-2)=8m+31<br> PLS SHOW WORK
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

9 (m+5)-3(m-2)=8m+31

9m+45 - (3m + 6)= 8m+31

9m+45-3m-6=8m+31

45-6+31=8m-9m+3m

70=2m

m=70/2

Therefore m = 35

Pie =????????????????????.??
maria [59]
Hello there!

I can assume you mean "Pi".

Pi is an irrational number that has an infinity decimal, also known as a terminating decimal, which means to repeat infinitely.

The summarized form of Pi is 3.14, but since you have multiple units, I can assume you want the extended form.

Here it is:
3.14159265359

I hope this helps!
