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

Justin is 2 years older than one third Marcella’s age. Aimee is 5 years younger than 2 times Justin’s age. Define a variable and
KIM [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

J = (1/3)M + 2 <=== ur expression would be : (1/3)M + 2

A = 2J - 5

if marcella is 63....

J = (1/3 * 63) + 2                              A = 2J - 5

J = 63/3 + 2                                    A = 2(23) - 5

J = 21 + 2                                        A = 46 - 5

J = 23 <== justin's age                   A = 41 <=== Aimee's age

An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 48 cm. What is the area?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

A=64\sqrt{3}\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An <u><em>equilateral triangle</em></u> has three equal sides and three equal interior angles (each interior angle measure 60 degrees)

so

The perimeter is equal to

P=3b

where

b is the length side of the equilateral triangle

we have

P=48\ cm

substitute

48=3b

solve for b

b=48/3\\b=16\ cm

Find the area

The formula of area applying the law of sines is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}b^2sin(60^o)

substitute the value of b

A=\frac{1}{2}(16)^2sin(60^o)

sin(60^o)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

A=\frac{1}{2}(16)^2(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})

A=64\sqrt{3}\ cm^2
