Change the ratios to decimals and compare:
7 / 12 = 0.583
7 / 8 = 0.875
So 7:12 is less than 7/8
The answer is <
Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height
Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7
9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16
With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.
To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )
Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11
Answer:
74.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
Hannah, the kite and Patricia form the vertices of a right-angled triangle with the hypotenuse side the length of the string L = 60 feet and adjacent side the distance between Hannah and Patricia = d = 16 feet.
Let the angle between the string and the sand be Ф.
By trigonometric ratios,
cosФ = adjacent/hypotenuse
= d/L
= 16 feet/60 feet
= 0.2667
Ф = cos⁻¹(0.2667)
= 74.53°
≅ 74.5°
So, he angle between the string and the sand is Ф = 74.5°
