## anonymous one year ago WILL FAN & MEDAL! Can you figure this one out? Find the height of the tree. Fill in the answer rounded to the nearest whole number. (no units)

I believe you need to use tan to find height.

3. geerky42

$$\tan\theta = \dfrac{Opp}{Adj}$$

I tried like ten times but i got the wrong answer, i just need the answer please:(((( @geerky42 theres like three out of 20 problems i just can solve!!!

5. anonymous

6. geerky42

Can you show me what you tried? So I can see your error?

7. anonymous

@geerky42 i cant i did it online

8. geerky42

Well.. $$\tan\theta = \dfrac{Opp}{Adj}\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad Adj~\tan\theta = Opp$$ Here, you were given that $$\theta = 25^\text o$$ and $$Adj = 650$$

9. geerky42

Plug in and solve for Opp (aka height)

so 26? @geerky42

11. geerky42

How?

12. geerky42

Can you use calculator? What is $$\tan(25^\text o)$$?

13. anonymous

@geerky42 is doing a good job .. why call for me

14. anonymous

THATS WHAT IM TELLING YOU I DONT KNOW! please, dont you just get it, you can give me all the steps and you did buti still dont know the answer, and i just need the answer so i can study it!!!:((((( @geerky42

15. anonymous

@HWBUSTER00 because i have no idea what anyone is talking about and i just need the answer to study it

16. geerky42

Again, can you use calculator? What is $$\tan(25^\text o)$$?

0.46630765815 @geerky42

18. geerky42

Correct. Now multiply that by Adj (650)

19. anonymous

@geerky42 303.099977801

20. geerky42

Good. Now round to nearest whole number.

21. geerky42

303 or 304?

22. anonymous

303? @geerky42

23. geerky42

Yep. so height is 303.
