7.62
Step-by-step explanation:
use distance formula
<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>
<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>
which is 9 ft approximated to the nearest ft
Hope this helps :)
