Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the figure = Are of square with side 8 in + 2 times the area of one triangle with base (8 - 5 = 3) 3 in and height 4 in
H(x) = 0.15x - 0.19
p(x) = 0.29x - 0.16
(p · h)(-8) = (0.29(-8) - 0.16)(0.15(-8) - 0.19)
(p · h)(-8) = (-2.32 - 0.16)(-1.2 - 0.19)
(p · h)(-8) = (-2.48)(-1.39)
(p · h)(-8) = 3.4472
It is approximately equal to 3.
The height of the tree is 249.5 feet
<h3>How to determine the height of the tree?</h3>
The given parameters are:
- Elevation angle = 80 degrees
- Shadow length (L) = 44 feet
Let the height of the tree be x.
So, we have:
tan(80) = x/44
Multiply both sides by 44
x = 44 * tan(80)
Evaluate
x = 249.5
Hence, the height of the tree is 249.5 feet
