Hello! So Brian is 6 feet tall and casts a 4 foot shadow and the tree’s shadow is 20 feet. To find the height of the tree, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
6/4 = x/20
This is because we are looking for the height of the tree, and having it set up like this will help us get to the right answer. Let’s cross multiply. 6 * 20 is 120. 4 * x is 4x. That simplified to 120 = 4x. Now, divide each side by 4 to isolate the x. 4x/4 cancels our. 120/4 is 30. Let’s cross multiply to check out answers. 6 * 20 is 120. 30 * 4 is 120. 120 = 120. There. x = 30. The tree is 30 feet tall.
Answer:
1 = 39 degrees (some theorem, like triangles sharing a bisector or something sorry)
3 = 51 degrees (if 1=39 and 2=90 degrees since its on a right angle, and a triangle's angles add up to 180, then you subtract 1 and 2 from 180 and get 51
This refers to the actual value. Therefore you can plug it into the calculator:
Sin of 30= 1/2
Cos30=√3/2
Answer: This is what I got -3.5 + 8.3 + (2/4 - 3) x 5*2 - 6.7
