Tara standing 20 feet from a tree and the angle of elevation is 72°. About how tall is the tree?
1 answer:
Answer:
Approx 61.554 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with the opposite and adjacent sides, we will use tangent as our ratio.
Since the angle of elevation is 72 degrees, the left side of our equation is .
The right side of the equation is opposite over adjacent.
Set these equal to each other.
Simplify.
x is approximately 61.554.

You need to find the circumference of the whole circular pool and then subtract from it the arc length that is 1/4 of the circumference. The circumference formula is C = (3.14)(d), which in our case is 3.14(40) which is 125.6. Now we need the arc length we need to take away. 1/4 of a circle corresponds to a 90 degree angle, so in the formula for arc length, we have this: 
which equals 31.4. Now subtract that from the circumference of the whole circle and you get the outside of the circle minus that arc length. That's 94.2. But we have to go in the radius times 2 to enclose the pie shaped piece we cut away. So we have 134.2. She should've just stuck with enclosing the circle; she would have used less fencing!
