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

Which is the graph of y = ⌊x⌋ – 2?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The third graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greatest Integer function (also called "floor" function. is in fact the one depicted on your first graph on the left. It indicates the integer part of the real number x.

So, if one translates such function two units down , as requested by the subtraction of 2 of the function y the problem shows, one ends up with the third graph depicted on the page.

If lines joined each given point on the graph to the origin, which points would be on lines that represent a unit rate greater t
Brut [27]

Answer:

The first three, (2, 8), (3, 9) and (4, 10).

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate, or rate of change, is another term for the slope.

The formula for slope is

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

The slope in the table would be given by

m = (22-11)/(10-5) = 11/5 = 2.2.

For the slope of the line that goes through (2, 8) and (0, 0), we have

m = (8-0)/(2-0) = 8/2 = 4.  This is greater than 2.2.

For the slope of the line that goes through (3, 9) and (0, 0), we have

m = (9-0)/(3-0) = 9/3 = 3.  This is greater than 2.2.

For the slope of the line that goes through (4, 10) and (0, 0), we have

m = (10-0)/(4-0)/ = 10/4 = 2.5.  This is greater than 2.2.

For the slope of the line that goes through (5, 8) and (0, 0), we have

m = (8-0)/(5-0) = 8/5 = 1.6.  This is not greater than 2.2.

For the slope of the line that goes through (6, 7) and (0, 0), we have

m = (7-0)/(6-0) = 7/6 = 1.16.  this is not greater than 2.2.

For the slope of the line that goes through (7, 6) and (0, 0), we have

m = (6-0)/(7-0) = 6/7 = 0.86.  This is not greater than 2.2.

Answer:

  • vertex: S
  • sides: ST and SR

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is the point the rays have in common. The side rays are named by naming the vertex first, then a point on the ray.

The rays come together at point S. The name of the vertex point is S.

The sides of the angle are rays ST and SR.
