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)

geerky42 (geerky42):

I believe you need to use tan to find height.

geerky42 (geerky42):

\(\tan\theta = \dfrac{Opp}{Adj}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HWBUSTER00 could you help please?:'(((

geerky42 (geerky42):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geerky42 i cant i did it online

geerky42 (geerky42):

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

geerky42 (geerky42):

Plug in and solve for Opp (aka height)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 26? @geerky42

geerky42 (geerky42):

How?

geerky42 (geerky42):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

geerky42 (geerky42):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.46630765815 @geerky42

geerky42 (geerky42):

Correct. Now multiply that by Adj (650)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geerky42 303.099977801

geerky42 (geerky42):

Good. Now round to nearest whole number.

geerky42 (geerky42):

303 or 304?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

303? @geerky42

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yep. so height is 303.

geerky42 (geerky42):

That is your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geerky42 thanks for your time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geerky42 is right ... it is ok
