Draw a right triangle to represent the problem.
The vertical height of the triangle is 9 ft, and it represents the tree.
The horizontal length, at the bottom of the tree is ground level and has a length of 13 ft.
Let x = angle of elevation.
By definition,
tan x = 9/13 = 0.6923
x = arctan(0.6923) = 34.7 deg. = 35 deg (approx)

Answer:
Population is <u>></u> 1,000,000, 000
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x < -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-x - 10 > 14 + 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides;
-3x - 10 > 14
Add 10 to both sides;
-3x > 24
Divide both sides by -3
The sign switches when divide by a negative number.
x < -8
