(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall

If tan x° = a divided by 4 and cos x° = 4 divided by b what is the value of sin x°? (1 point) \
Rudiy27

Answer:

Sin x = a / b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite side =a and the adjacent side = 4 (because tan x = a/4.

Cos x = 4/b so the hypotenuse = b ( because  Cos = adjacent /hypotenuse.

So sin x = opposite /hypotenuse = a / b.

Helen [10]

Merina is scheduled to make two loan payments to Bradford in the amount of $1,000 each, two months and nine months from now. Mer
Svetach [21]

well, we're assuming all along that Merina owes Bradford $2000, because in the 1st scenario, she was going to pay twice $1000.

on the 2nd scenario, she'll be paying the same $2000 but split 7 months from now and then 7 months later, same 2000 bucks, at which point Bradford applied 8.5% interest.

using those assumptions, since the wording is not quite clear, we can say that Merina is simply paying 2000 bucks plus the 8.5%

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{8.5\% of 2000}}{\left( \cfrac{8.5}{100} \right)2000}\implies 170 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{\stackrel{principal}{2000}~~ + ~~\stackrel{interest}{170}}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{two equal payments of}}{1085}
