Answer:

A multiplier of 1.641 corresponds to a percentage increase or decrease of 64.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine a percentage increase or decrease of a certain number, a calculation consisting of the multiplication of said number by 1 plus the decimals corresponding to the percentage to be increased must be performed. Thus, for example, if you want to increase a number by 50%, you must multiply that number by 1.50. Therefore, if you multiply a number by 1,641, this implies that you are wanting to increase or decrease the initial number by 64.1%.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The bird is approximately 9 ft high up in the tree

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The required diagram is shown in the attached image

Note that the tree, the cat and the ground form a right-angled triangle

<u>Therefore, we can apply special trigonometric functions</u>

<u>These functions are as follows:</u>

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ cos(\alpha)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\ \\tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

<u>Now, taking a look at our diagram, we can note the following:</u>

α = 25°

The opposite side is the required height (x)

The adjacent side is the distance between the cat and the tree = 20 ft

Therefore, we can use the <u>tan function</u>

<u>This is done as follows:</u>

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\ \\ tan(25)=\frac{x}{20}\\ \\x=20tan(25) = 9. 32 ft$ which is 9 ft approximated to the nearest ft

Hope this helps :)
