Answer:

B = 62.9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance where she is from the oak tree is 75ft,

The angle of elevation the stone makes with the top of the oak tree is 40°

The height of the tree is x ft

See attached document for better illustration

Using SOHCAHTOA,

Tanθ = opposite/ adjacent

θ = 40°

Opposite = x ft

Adjacent = 75ft

Tan40 = x / 75

X = 75 × tan40

X = 75 × 0.8390

X = 62.92ft

The height of the oak tree is 62.9ft

From the parking lot at red hill shopping center the angle of the top of the hill is about 25 from the base of the hill the angl

eimsori [14]

Answer:

512 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the parking lot at the Red Hill Shopping Center, the angle of sight (elevation) to the top of the hill is about 25. From the base of the hill you can also sight the top but at an angle of 55. The horizontal distance between sightings is 740 feet. How high is Red Hill? Show your subproblems.

Solution:

Let x be the distance from the base of the hill to the middle of the hill perpendicular to the height, let h be the height of the hill. Therefore:

tan 25 = h/(x + 740)

h = (x + 740)tan 25 (1)

tan 55 = h / x

h = x tan 55 (2)

Hence:

(x + 740)tan 25 = xtan 55

0.4663(x + 740) = 1.428x

0.4663x + 345.07 = 1.428x

0.9617x = 345.07

x = 359 ft.

h = xtan55 = 359 tan(55) = 512 ft.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

49°

Step-by-step explanation:

7.5x-15+90=180

7.5x+75 =180

7.5x=105

x =14

so NPQ = ( 4×14 -7 ) = 49° this the answer

Factor the quadratic expression t^2 + 4t - 7

zepelin [54]

Answer:

Not factorable.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a trinomial (3 terms). We factor by splitting the middle term 4t into factors of -7 (the last term) which add to 4.

-7 = 1 * -7

4t= 1t+-7t doesn't work

4t=-1t+7t doesn't work

This is not factorable.
