Answer:

71.32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We set up a trigonometric function to get height of tree

Distance ,x = 35 feet away from tree base

Angle = 62⁰ at eye level

Y = tan(angle) * x

= Y = tan(62⁰) x 35

Y = 1.881 x 35

Y = 65.82 feet

We add Tamara's height to the total height of the tree

= 65.82feet + 5.5 feet

= 71.32 feet is the height of the tree

Answer:

Step 3.

Operation error, where the sign on the number changes from -ve to +ve where shifted to the left side of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  2(10 - 13x) + 9x = -34x + 60

<u>Step 1. Distribute</u>

20-26x+9x=-34x+60

<u>Step 2: Combine like Terms</u>

20-17x=-34x+60  -------------------------(-26x+9x = -17x)

<u>Step 3: subtraction property of equality</u>

-17x+34x=60-20--------------------- (60-20 =40)

-17x+34x=40

<u>Step 4 :Addition property of Equality</u>

-17x+34x=40-------------------(-17x+34x =17x)

17x=40

<u>Step 5: Division property of Equality</u>

17x=40

17x/17 = 40/17

x=40/17

Answer

x=40/17

<u>Errors</u>

In step 3

-17x+34x = 17 x and not 51x

In step 5

-51x=40

x=-40/51 (not the other way round, -51/40) however correct operation is supposed to be;

17x=40, hence x =40/17

A cylinder has radius r and height h. a. How many times greater is the surface area of a cylinder when both dimensions are multi
kondor19780726 [428]
To find it directly

A = 2 pi r h

A is proportional to rh

factor 2

A is multiplied by 2 * 2 = 4

factor 3

3 * 3 =9

factor 5

5 * 5 = 25

factor 10 

10 * 10 = 100

(b) the increase in A by factor x is x^2

c(20)^2 = 400

(Brainliest) Can someone please answer this
Lorico [155]
1. The perimeter is 20. How I got that is to add all of them together- 9+3+3+3+2=20. The area is the area is 15. How I got that was I did the little square with 3 and 2 first. 3 times 2 = 6, then I did the 3 and 3 which = 9 and added those together 9+6=15

2. The perimeter is 15. How I got that is I add them all together. 6+3+2+2+2=15. The area is 10. I did 3 times 2 = 6, 2 times 2 = 4, 6+4=10
