Answer:

Height of the tree = 14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The following illustration will form a right angle triangle. The tree will form the height which is the opposite side. The shadow cast by the tree will form the adjacent side while the angle of elevation is 30° to the hypotenuse.

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

TOA will be used to solve this

since the adjacent side is given which is the length of the shadow and we are looking for the opposite side which is the height of the tree.

shadow length(adjacent) = 25 feet

height of tree(opposite) = y

angle made with the ground = 30°

tan 30° = opposite/adjacent

tan 30° = y/25

cross multiply

25 × tan 30 = y

y =  0.5773502692  × 25

y =  14.43375673  feet

Height of the tree = 14 feet

What was the price per yard of fabric
GuDViN [60]
Fabric will run you from $1/yd to upwards of $20/yd, depending on what you want. If you're looking for a fairly basic fabric, you're probably going to pay around $5-8 a yard. Patterns have gotten really pricey, but here's a trick--always buy them on sale. Most fabric stores will have one or two pattern brands on sale for a couple bucks a piece at any given time, which beats the heck out of paying $20 for one. Thread is around $2.50 a spool (can be higher, depending on quantity and material), and I want to say a zipper will run somewhere in the vicinity of $3, depending on size and type.
Depending on your fabric, you're probably looking at around $25-30 total.
