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

Please help. I don’t understand how to do this
Rasek [7]

Greetings from Brasil...

Let's apply the given formula:

A = (1/2)·B·H

The base of this polygon (in this case, the triangle) is B

B = X² - 2X + 6

The height of this polygon is H and is H

H = X + 4

Applying these values (B and H) in the given formula.....

A = (1/2)·B·H

A = (1/2)·(X² - 2X + 6)·(X + 4)

A = (1/2)·(X³ + 2X² - 2X + 24)

A = (X³/2) + X² - X + 12

OR

A = (X³ + 2X² - 2X + 24)/2

Point A is at (3, 2.7) and point B is at (3, 1.4) on a coordinate grid. The distance between the two points is ____. Input numbe
lisov135 [29]
The points have the same x-coordinate, so they lie on a horizontal line. The distance between them is the difference between their y-coordinates.

2.7-1.4=1.3

The distance between the two points is 1.3.
