Answer 
18 feet and 4.5 inches

Explanation 
You are going to use the concept of similar triangle.
∆CED≡∆CBA
This is because they share the angle at C and also they both have an angle of 90o.
Let EC = X, then BE = 2.5X. So, BE = (X + 2.5X) = 3.5X
The scale factor EC/BC=x/3.5x=2/7
EC/BC=ED/BA=2/7
BA=7/2×63 in
The height of the tree = 220.5 inches. This is equal 18 feet and 4.5 inches.

Answer:

0.6517

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a certain game of chance, your chances of winning are 0.3.

We know that each game is independent of the other and hence probability of winning any game = 0.3 (constant)

Also there are only two outcomes

Let X be the number of games you win when you play 4 times

Then X is binomial with p = 0.3 and n =4

Required probability

= Probability that you win at most once

= $P(X\leq 1)\\=P(X=0)+P(X=1)$

We have as per binomial theorem

P(X=r) = $nCr p^r (1-p)^{n-r}$

Using the above the required prob

= 0.6517
