Look at the tree shown in the diagram. What is the bight of the tree rounded to the nearest tenth foot?
Answer:
Correct answer is B, 69.3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a 30°-60°-90° right triangle, the length of the longer leg is √3 times the length of the shorter leg, so the length of the shorter leg is 1/√3, or √3/3 times the length of the longer leg.
[tex]120( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{3}) = 40 \sqrt{3} = 69.3[/tex]
