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.

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

What is 2r - 6r 8 = 40?
Anit [1.1K]
Well first you have to add common like terms in this case 2r and -6r to get -4r now your equation is -4r+8=40, now subtract 8 from both sides to leave r by itself and get -4r=32, now divide both sides by -4 to get r=-8

Hope this helps

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken for trip : t + 1

Time taken for return : t

Avg. speed (trip) : 256 km/h

Avg. speed (return) : 320 km/h

The distances covered on both trips are equal.

⇒ Distance (trip) = Distance (return)

⇒ Speed (trip) × time (trip) = Speed (return) × time (return)

⇒ (256)(t + 1) = (320)(t)

⇒ 256t + 256 = 320t

⇒ 64t = 256

⇒ t = 4 hours

<u>Time (trip)</u> = t + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 hours
