Melissa is standing 40 ft from a tree. the angle of elevation from where she is standing on the ground to the top of the tree is 50°. how tall is the tree? round the final answer to the nearest tenth. enter your answer in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In a right triangle the tangent of an angle is equal to divide the opposite side to the angle by the adjacent side to the angle

so

In this problem

The tall of the tree is BC

substitute

  the correct choice is marked

step-by-step explanation:

the first two graphs show multiple turning points. the last graphs matches the description in every detail.

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
