The answer is forty inches
Answer:
217
Step-by-step explanation:
5425/25 = 217
Draw a right triangle ABC with, the point where the top touches the ground and one leg, BC, the stump, measuring 14 ft.
The height of the tree = hypotenuse + stump BC (14 ft)
If the ∠ of inclination = 43°, then ∠ CAB = 37°
Now let's apply the law of sine:
sin 37°/14 = sin 43°/AB →and AB = 14.sin 43°/sin 37° = 15.86
Hypotenise² = AB² + CB²
Hypotenuse² = 15.85² + 14² = 447.22 → and Hypotenuse = 21.14 ft
Tree Height = hypotenuse + stump = 21.14 + 14 ≈ 35 ft
Please note that in such questions, the ":" stands for ratio which in turn stands for divide. Thus, the given expression which is:
will become:
.....(Equation 1)
Now, we know that 3.8 can be rewritten as 
. Also, we know that the mixed fraction 
can be re-written as:
Using the above two expressions in (Equation 1) we get:
Cross-multiplication gives:
Or c=0.25
Thus, we may write the value of c as either the decimal 0.25 or the fraction 
.
