Answer:

40.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the part that broke away be represented as "x"

Thus, the digram makes a right triangle shape.

The closest total length of tree before the storm = x + 14 ft

Apply trigonometric function to find x.

Reference angle = 58°

Side adjacent to reference angle = 14 ft

Hypotenuse = x

Apply CAH, which is:

Cos 58 = adj/hyp

Cos 58 = 14/x

x * Cos 58 = 14

x = 14/Cos 58

x = 26.4191188 ≈ 26.4 ft

✔️closest total length of tree before the storm = x + 14 ft = 26.4 + 14 = 40.4 ft

Please help.. part a & b

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Part A

to the 10th power will be positive and to the 11th power is negative. When the exponent is even it will be positive. When it is odd it will be negative

Part B

The one with the negative enclosed will be positive. The second one, the exponent is only effecting the number and not the sign. The outcome will always be negative.
