Use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 15^2 = 25^2

a^2 + 225 = 625

a^2 = 400

a = 20

Answer: 20 cm

Hope this helps!!

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$\displaystyle 53.6ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

refer the attachment

let the height be h

since we are given the adjacent side and want to figure out opposite side we'll use tan function

so our equation is

$\displaystyle \tan( {15}^{ \circ} ) = \frac{h}{200}$

cross multiplication:

$\displaystyle h = 200\tan( {15}^{ \circ} )$

by using calculator we acquire:

$\displaystyle h \approx 53.6ft$

hence,

about 53.6ft high in the tree ate monkeys

Explain why 2n+1 must be an odd number

Lorico [155]
