A civil engineer is mapping the overhead clearance of his family’s property on a coordinate grid. The ground is represented by t

he x-axis and the base of the house is at the origin. There are two trees on the property. One tree is 8 feet from the base of the house and is 16 feet tall. The other tree is 11 feet from the base of the house and is 9 feet tall. What is the distance from the base of the house to the closest treetop? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Need answer ASAP.

The distance from the base of the tree to the tallest would be 14.21 cm

<h3>We have the following data points in this question</h3>

X1 = 8 feet

y1 = 16 feet

x2 = 11 feet

y2 = 9 feet

To proceed with the solution we have to

We have to solve for the shorter tree

\sqrt{(y2 -y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2} \\\\= \sqrt{9-0^2 + 11-0^2}

<em>= </em>9² + 11²

= √81 +121

= 14.21

<h3>For the taller tree we would have</h3>

√8² + 16²

= √64 +256

= 17.89

I want to fence in a square vegetable patch. The fencing for the east and west sides cost $7 per foot, and the fencing for the n
Bezzdna [24]

The total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet) is  10x + 14y.

<h3>How to find the perimeter?</h3>

The perimeter is made by adding the south, north, east, and west side.

Given that

The cost of fencing for the east and west sides is $7 per foot, and the cost of fencing for the north and south sides is only $5 per foot.

We have to find total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet).

The east and west fencing cost is $7/ft but the south and north fencing cost is $5/ft.

x = north and south fencing

y = the east and west sides, then you can get this equation.

Total cost= (south +north) × 5 + (east+ west) × 7

Total cost =(x + x) × 5 + (y+ y) × 7

Total cost = 5(2x) + 7(2y)

Total cost = 10x + 14y

Hence, the total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet) is 10x + 14y.
