Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the height of the tree:

\frac{4}{5} = \frac{x}{20}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

5x = 80

x = 16

So, the tree is 16 feet tall

Brett is 75 feet from the base of a building. he measures the angle of elevation to the top of the building and records it as 80
SashulF [63]
This is the concept of trigonometry, we are required to calculate the number of floors the building has given the information above;
# floors=[height of the building]/[height of each floor]
height of each floor=17 ft
let the height of the building be,h.
h is given by;
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
theta=80
opposite=h
adjacent=75 ft
thus
tan 80=h/75
h=75 tan 80
h=425.35 ft
thus the number of floors will be:
425.35/17
=25.020≈25 floors

Here is the formula for find the one inside of the polygon: 
(n-2).180/n (n shows how many sides does polygon have)
so now we can solve the equation==== (n-2).180/n=144
1144n=(n-2).180
144n=180n-360
360=36n
n=10 
so we call it decagon :)
