16 ft

Explanation

Step 1

because the ligth comes in the same angle, we have 2 similar triangles .

so,as the triangles are similar,the ratio of the shorter leg to the bigger leg must be equal.

\begin{gathered} ratio=\frac{shorter\text{ leg}}{\text{bigger leg}} \\ ratio1=ratio2 \\ \frac{h}{24}=\frac{4}{6} \end{gathered}

Step 2

solve for h

\begin{gathered} \frac{h}{24}=\frac{4}{6} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 6\cdot h=4\cdot24 \\ 6h=96 \\ \text{divide boths} \\ \frac{6h}{6}=\frac{96}{6} \\ h=16 \end{gathered}

therefore, the heigth of the tree is 16 ft

A circle with center c(4,-2) contains the point D( 8,1). What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the radius of the cir
Nady [450]

Answer:

  4x +3y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius CD has slope Δy/Δx = (1-(-2))/(8-4) = 3/4.

The equation for the perpendicular line through point C(4, -2) can be written as ...

  Δx(x -4) +Δy(y -(-2)) = 0

  4(x -4) +3(y +2) = 0

  4x +3y -10 = 0 . . . . . . general form equation for the line

  4x +3y = 10 . . . . . . . . .standard form equation for the line

25 points Please explain your answer, thank you!
Mashutka [201]

The answer is B.

For an expression to be a polynomial term, any variables in the expression must have whole number powers.

-3/x isn’t a polynomial term because the variable is in the denominator.
