<span><u>Answer </u>
18 feet and 4.5 inches

<u>Explanation </u>
You are going to use the concept of similar triangle.
∆CED≡∆CBA
This is because they share the angle at C and also they both have an angle of 90o.
Let EC = X, then BE = 2.5X. So, BE = (X + 2.5X) = 3.5X
The scale factor EC/BC=x/3.5x=2/7
EC/BC=ED/BA=2/7
BA=7/2×63 in
The height of the tree = 220.5 inches. This is equal 18 feet and 4.5 inches.

Consider equation of circle x2-2x+y2-4y-4=0,if line 2x-y+a=0 is its diameter then find value of a
g100num [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2x + y² - 4y - 4 = 0

x² - 2x + y² - 4y = 4

complete the squares

(x² - 2x + x₀) + (y² - 4y + y₀) = 4

the unknown number will be the square of half of the x¹ coefficient

(x² - 2x + 1) + (y² - 4y + 4) = 4 + 1 + 4

(x - 1)² + (y - 2)² = 9

This tells us that the circle is centered on (1, 2)

Which is also a point on the diameter

2x - y + a = 0

a = y - 2x

a = 2 - 2(1)

a = 0
