Answer:

Choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find area of triangle.

We have given the base of triangle and altitude of triangle.

From question statement,we observe that

base=b= 10 inches and height=h=altitude= 4 inches

The area of triangle is half of base times the height of triangle.

Area= 1/2×base×height

By putting the values of base and height in above formula,we get

Area = 1/2×10×14

Area = 70 in².

hence, choice B is correct answer.

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of triangle is

A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h

Where, b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

It is given that the base of the triangle is 10 inch and the height of the triangle is 14 inch.

The area of given triangle is

A=\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 14

A=10\times 7

A=70

Therefore the area of triangle is 70 square inch and the option B is correct.

Wendy is standing 60 feet away from a tree. Her eyes are 5 feet above the ground. She sees a bird hovering above a tree. The ang
Gennadij [26K]

The bird is 17 feet above the tree.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We need to think of this in terms of right triangles.  If Wendy is 60 feet from a tree, the base of the right triangle is 60 feet.  The height of the tree is the height of the right triangle.  The angle of elevation is the one from the ground at her feet to the top of the tree and then to the bird.  Let's start with the top of the tree first.

She's 60 feet away, we have the angle of elevation as 25 degrees, and we are looking for the height of the tree.  In regards to the angle, the base of 60 is adjacent, and the height of the tree is opposite.  The tangent ratio is height / base.

Let x be the height of the tree.

So,

tan (25) = \frac{x}{60}

60 tan(25) = x\\\\x = 27.9 feet

x is approximately 28 feet

Since, Wendy's eyes are 5 feet above the ground, the height of the tree becomes

28 + 5 = 33 feet

<u>For bird</u>

Let y be the height of the bird in the air

tan(37) = \frac{y}{60} \\\\60 tan(37) = y\\\\y = 45.2 feet

y is approximately 45 feet

Since, Wendy's eyes are 5 feet above the ground, the height of the tree becomes

45 + 5 = 50 feet

To know how far above the tree that bird is

50 - 33 = 17 feet

Therefore, the bird is 17 feet above the tree.

Let change 7/8 and 1/5 into decimal point so 0.88 and 0.2 
0.88-0.2 =0.68
then we want 5 equal length so we divided
0.68 / 5 =0.14
