Answer:

The height of the tree is approximately 21.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We list out the question parameters first as follows;

The distance from the base of the tree where the angle of elevation is measured, d = 10 feet

The angle of elevation to the top of the tree from 10 feet from the base, θ = 65°

Let 'h' represent the height of the tree, then we have;

The line formed by the angle 65° angle, the height of the tree, 'h', and the distance 'd', form a right triangle with 'h' being the opposite leg to the given reference angle, 65°, and 'd' being the adjacent leg

By trigonometric ratio, we have;

tan(\theta) = \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Adjacent\ leg \ length} = \dfrac{h}{d}

∴ h = d × tan(θ)

Plugging in the given values, we get;

h = 10 feet × tan(65°) = 21 feet 5\frac{11}{32} inches

∴  By rounding to the nearest tenth of a foot, the height of the tree, h ≈ 21.4 feet.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: a. Each term in Bill's pattern is twice the value of the corresponding item in Jan's pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jan created a pattern by adding 3 and Bill created a pattern by adding 6.

6 is twice the value of 3 so Bill's terms will be twice the value of Jan's corresponding terms as well.

To prove it:

12 is twice the value of 6

18 is twice the value of 9

24 is twice the value of 12
