Answer:
86.63 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent relation applies.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(77°) = (tree height)/(20 ft)
tree height = (20 ft)·tan(77°) ≈ 86.63 ft

<em>Additional comment</em>
It is somewhat problematic for Bob to see the top of a white pine tree at that angle of elevation. His view would likely be obscured by the branches of the tree.
Answer:
12 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry if im wrong
(3, –2) and (6, 2)First, we must establish slope...m=(y-y1)/(x-x1)m=(-2-2)/(3-6)m=-4/-3m=4/3Point slope formula is...y-y1=m(x-x1)Let's select either coordinate. I randomly select the first (3, –2)...y--2=4/3(x-3)Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number...y+2=4/3(x-3)This corresponds to the first answer.Standard form...Ax+By=Cy+2=(4/3)x-4y=(4/3)x-6-(4/3)x+y=-6Multiply both sides by 3...-4x+3y=-18This also corresponds to the first answer. How about the second coordinate, (6, 2)...y-y1=m(x-x1)y-2=(4/3)(x-6)Let's convert it into standard form..y-2=(4/3)x-8y=(4/3)x-6-(4/3)x+y=-6Multiply both sides by 3...-4x+3y=-18
I think its 61.64 im not 100% sure but I hope this helps
