Answer: Height of tree = 26 ft

Make a triangle ABC with 40 degrees angle. The shadow is the base of the triangle equals 31 feet.

Base = AC = 31

Perpendicular = CB = ?

Hypotenuse = AB

Using trigonometric equation

tan 40 (deg) = CB / AC

CB = Tan 40 x AC

CB = 0.83909 x 31

CB = 26.011

Thus the height of the tree = 26 ft

lesya [120]

Answer:

(B)  

Step-by-step explanation:

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT(p) = $400

RATE (r)= 250% = 2.5

INTEREST = $80

t = time (in days) = t/365

By using the formula,

r = \frac{i}{pt}

2.5 = \frac{80*365}{400*t}

t = \frac{364*80}{400*2.5}

t = 29.2

t = 29 days (approx)

Hence option (B) is correct.
