Answer:

<u>56.5 ft</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure which represents the explanation of the problem.

We need to find the length of the tree to which is the length of AD

From the graph ∠BAC = 90° and ∠ABD = 76°, AB = 18 ft

At ΔABD:

∠BAD = ∠BAC - ∠DAC = 90° - 4° = 86°

∠ADB = 180° - ( ∠BAD + ∠ABD) = 180 - (86+76) = 180 - 162 = 18°

Apply the sine rule at ΔABD

∴\frac{AB}{SinD} =\frac{AD}{sinB}

∴ 18/sin 18 = AD/sin 76

∴ AD = 18 * (sin 76)/(sin 18) ≈ 56.5 (to the nearest tenth of a foot)

So, The length of the tree = 56.5 ft.

<u>The answer is 56.5 ft</u>

I need help with this maths question
ella [17]
If we simply it, then it would be
3 + 2x + 6 + x = 15, which equals
3x + 6 + 3 = 15,
3x + 9 = 15,
if we subtract 9 from 15, we get 6. If we divide 3x by 3, and 6 by 3, we get 2.
Therefore x = 2, and we know there is a 10/15 chance to get a humbug, or a 1/3 chance.
Hope this helped.

A koala weighs 20 pounds. In her pouch she carries her joy that weighs 20 ounces. What is the combined weigth of the adult koala
sdas [7]

Answer: The answer is 21.25 pounds.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the weight of Akoala is 20 pounds. Also, she is carrying her joey with her having weight 20 ounces. We need to find the combined weight of the adult Akoala and her joey in ounces.

For that, first we need to conver ounces to pounds.

We know

1~\textup{pound}=16~\textup{ounces}\\\\\Rightarrow 1~\textup{ounce}=\dfrac{1}{16}~\textup{pounds}\\\\\Rightarrow 20~\textup{ounces}=\dfrac{1}{16}\times 20=\dfrac{5}{4}=1.25~\textup{pounds.}

Therefore, the combined weight is given by

W=20+1.25=21.25~\textup{pounds.}

Thus, the answer is 21.25 pounds.
