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

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara's base pay is $80

(a) The 9t represents the additional amount of money that she earns if she gives instruction for t hours. 9 stands for $9 per hour

b)The term in the expression is t which stands for the number of hours that she instructs. The coefficient is 9 which stands for the hourly rate

c) The expression for 7 hours would be

We will substitute t into 80 + 9t. It becomes

80 + 9×7

d) in all, she will earn

80 + 9×7 = $143

Mrac [35]
No, no value for x will result in you getting the same amount of money
I.e. on the first day if x =2 you earn 33. on the second day you would've earned 44. Of course this may be wrong so best to double check
