Answer: she is 35.3 feet from the tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming her line of sight to the top of the tree is a straight line, then a right angle triangle is formed. The height of the tree, h represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. Her distance, h from the tree represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle. To determine h, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 27 = 18/h

h = 18/tan27 = 18/0.51

h = 35.3 feet

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN AND MAYBE SHOW ME STEP BY STEP WHY THE ANSWER IS 75degrees. HURRY 50 points and brainiest!!!
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

75 degrees, we know that already so look below lol.

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle is an isosceles triangle, LP is equivalent to LQ, and angles LQP and LPQ are also equivalent. We understand that PLQ is equal to 30 degrees, since its complementary to triangle LQM.

180 - 30 = 150

150/2 = 75.
