John wants to measure the height of a tree. His eye level is 6 feet from the ground. He walks exactly 100 ft from the base of the tree and looks up. The angle from the Johns eye level to the top of the tree is 33º. How tall is the tree?

70.9 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometry:

tan θ = opposite /Adjacent

Opposite = tree height, y

Adjacent = vertical distance between eyelevel and tree

tan 33º = y/100

y = 100 * tan 33º

y = 100 * 0.6494075

y = 64.9 feets

Distance between John's eye level and the ground = 6 feets

Total tree height = 6 + 64.9 = 70.9 feets

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
