Explanation:
The formula isnt correctly written, it should state:
You have to start from and end in a³+b³. On your first step, you need to use the distributive property.
This is equal to
Note that the second term, -a²b, is cancelled by the fourth term, ba², and the third term, ab², is cancelled by the fifht term, -b²a. Therefore, the final result is a³+b³, as we wanted to.
<u>Given:</u>
The angle of elevation from the point on the ground to the top of the tree is 34° and the point is 25 feet from the base of the tree.
We need to determine the height of the tree.
<u>Height of the tree:</u>
Let the height of the tree be h.
The height of the tree can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.
Thus, we have;
Substituting the values, we get;
Multiplying both sides by 25, we have;
Rounding off to the nearest tenth of a foot, we get;
Thus, the height of the tree is 16.9 feet.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
