Answer:

30 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\frac{5}{3\frac{1}{3} }$ = $\frac{x}{20}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

100 = 3 $\frac{1}{3}$ x

30 = x

So, the tree is 30 feet tall

Answer:

$\displaystyle\theta = {30}^{ \circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following equation:

$\displaystyle\sin( \theta) = \frac{5}{10}$

notice that, the fraction can be reduced therefore reduce fraction:

$\displaystyle\sin( \theta) = \frac{ \cancel{5 \: }}{ \cancel{1 0} _{2} }$

$\displaystyle\sin( \theta) = \frac{1}{2}$

by trigonometric value table we obtain:

$\displaystyle\sin( \theta) = \sin( {30}^{ \circ} )$

get rid of sin:

$\displaystyle\theta = {30}^{ \circ}$

and we are done!

I think Y is 4 because the only time a number squared is the number by it'self is also the number +2 is 2- and that makes x=2
