Answer:

Height of the tree is 78.11 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the tangent rule in the right triangle formed,

Since, tanθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

tan(32)° = $\frac{h}{125}$

h = 125(tan32°)

h = 125(0.62487)

h = 78.109

≈ 78.11 ft

Height of the tree will be 78.11 feet.

If p% of q is k, then what is q% of p.

vfiekz [6]

The following equation expresses p% of q is k.
$\frac{p}{q}\times100=k$
Then we can write q% of p as:
$\frac{q}{p}\times100=\frac{1}{k}$
So the answer is 1/k

Mr. Perez went to his favorite restaurant for lunch. his lunch cost $15.00. what was the total bill if yes left a 20% tip?

Mamont248 [21]

To find how much you paid for the tip, take the price of the meal and multiply by the tip rate (presented as a decimal)
so 15×.2 will equal what tip you pay
then just add that to the price of the meal

Answer:

d= 8.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are in proportion.

$\boxed{\dfrac{AW}{MZ}=\dfrac{AJ}{MJ}=\dfrac{WJ}{ZJ}}$

To find the value of x,

$\dfrac{AJ}{MJ}=\dfrac{WJ}{ZJ}\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{7}=\dfrac{d}{10}\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{7}*10=d$

d = 8.6 ft
