Item 5 A spotlight on the ground shines a beam of light to the top of a tree that is 12 m tall. The beam of light makes an angle of 40° with the ground. What is the distance from the spotlight to the base of the tree, rounded to the nearest meter? 10 m 14 m 16 m 19 m PreviousFinish

14 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of tree=AB=12 m

We have to find the distance from the spotlight to the base of the tree.

We know that

Hence, the distance from the spotlight to the base of the tree=14 m

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
