Answer:

The tree is 6.36 meters tall.

Explanation: Let AB is tree of height h t = ? and CD is Tonya h g = 1.3 meter tall at A C = 7 meters in front of tree . The shadow C E = 1.8 meters long . So two similar triangles are formed , one Δ A E B and other Δ C E D . So A B C D = A E C E or h t h g = A E A C or h t h g = A C + C E AC or h t 1.3 = 7 + 1.8 1.8 or h t = 8.8 ⋅ 1.3 1.8 ≈ 6.36 ( 2 d p )m

The tree is 6.36 meter tall.

In the square below, the two semi-circles are congruent. Find the area of the shaded region. If necessary, round your answer to

Jobisdone [24]

Let's start with the area of the square
$area \: square = s \times s = 8 \times 8 = 64$
now let's subtract the are of the two half circles.
two half circles are the same as one circle, and we know that the diameter of the circle is 8 (same as the side of a square) so it's radius is 8/2= 4 inches

$area \: circle = \pi {r}^{2} = \pi \times {4}^{2} = 16\pi$
now we just subtract and our answer is

$64 - 16\pi = 64 - 16 \times (3.14) = 13.73$
