Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
81 ft^2
Discussion:
The area of a square is (length of a side)^2. In this case,
Area = 9^2 = 81

The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are 21° 19' and 16°20'.
1) Convert the angles to decimal form:
19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°
20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°
2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.
You can form a triangle with
- horizontal leg x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)
You can form a second triangle with:
- horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x => h = x * tan(21.32)
Now equal the two expressions for h:
(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet
=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.
Answer: 76.39 feet
Answer:
/2 and /4 because angle 1 is 90
Answer:
D Numbers that can be written as fractions
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>rational</em> number is one that can be written as a <em>ratio</em>: a fraction with integer numerator and denominator.

The term "decimal" as used here is sufficiently non-specific that we cannot seriously consider it to be part of a suitable answer. A terminating or repeating decimal will be a rational number. A non-terminating, non-repeating decimal will not be a rational number.
While integers and whole numbers are included in the set of rational numbers, by themselves, they do not constitute the best description of the set of rational numbers.
