How to calulate how high a tree that is 5m high and shadow is 4m?

Mathematics

If you are trying to figure out the distance between the top of the tree and the end of the shadow, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
25 + 16 = c^2
41 = c^2
c = √41 = 6.4 meters

Is anyone good at math and can help with this, or at least the first one and explain how to do it?​
Anna007 [38]

now, bear in mind that all these ones are lines, and to graph a line all you need is two points, so let's pick a couple of random values for say "x" and let's see what we get for "y" and that's our x,y point.

3)

9x+4y=-16\implies \stackrel{\textit{using x = 0}~\hfill }{9(0)+4y=-16}\implies 4y=-16 \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-16}{4}\implies y=-4~\hspace{10em}(0~~,~~-4) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 9x+4y=-16\implies \stackrel{\textit{using x = -4}~\hfill }{9(-4)+4y=-16}\implies -36+4y=-16 \\\\\\ 4y=20\implies y = \cfrac{20}{4}\implies y = 5~\hspace{10em}(-4~~,~~5)

check the red line in the picture below.

4)

5x+2y=8\implies \stackrel{\textit{using x = 0}~\hfill }{5(0)+2y=8}\implies 2y=8\implies y=\cfrac{8}{2}\implies y=4 \\\\\\ ~\hspace{10em}~\hspace{10em}(0~~,~~4) \\\\\\ 5x+2y=8\implies \stackrel{\textit{using x = 4}~\hfill }{5(4)+2y=8}\implies 20+2y=8\implies 2y=-12 \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-12}{2}\implies y=-6~\hspace{10em}(4~~,~~-6)

check the blue line in the picture below.

1.9 divided by 3 <br> Give all steps!;)
Roman55 [17]
The answer is:  " \frac{19}{30} " ;
  or, write as:  "0.63333333333..." ;  or, round to:  "0.6333" .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
  1.9 ÷ 3  = \frac{1.9}{3} ;

              = \frac{1.9 * 10}{3 * 10} ;

              = \frac{19}{30}
 ______________________ 
Write as:  " \frac{19}{30} " ; 

or, using a calculator, write in "decimal form" ;

→  \frac{19}{30} = 19 ÷ 30 =  "<span>0.63333333333...." ; 
</span>_______________________________________________________
The answer is:  " \frac{19}{30} " ;
  or, write as:  "0.63333333333..." ;  or, round to:  "<span>0.6333" .

Find the value of X in each of the given triangles.​
ki77a [65]

<DSR + <SRD + <RDS = 180° (Angle sum property)

2x + x +3x = 180°

6x = 180°

x = 180°/6

x = 30°

So, <SRD = x = 30°

<RDS = 3x = 3(30°) =90°

<DSR = 2x = 2(30°) = 60°

Hope it helps !

✌️
