A tree is leaning at a 5° angle from vertical, making an 85° angle with the ground. When the sun is at a 65° angle of elevation,

the tree casts a 25-foot shadow. What is the approximate length of the tree?

D = 25 ft is the length of a shadow. L -  the length of a tree.
Two angles are 85° and 65° and the third is 180° - ( 65° + 85° ) =
= 180° - 150° = 30°.
We will use the Sine Law:
25 / sin 30° = L / sin 65°
25 / 0.5 = L / 0.9063
25 * 0.9063 = 0.5 L
22.6577 = 0.5 L
L = 22.6577 : 0.5
L = 45.3 ft.
Answer: the approximate length of the tree is 45.3 ft.

The areas of the squares adjacent to two sides of a right triangle are shown below
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The area of the square is 85 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, here in this question, we are interested in calculating the area of the unknown square.

Kindly note that, since each of the other shapes are squares too, it means that the length of their sides is simply the square root of their areas.

Thus, the length of the squares are ;

√35 units and √50 units respectively

Now to find the area of the larger square, we employ the use of Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let’s call the unknown length X

x^2 = (√35)^2 + (√50)^2

x^2 = 35 + 50

x^2 = 85

x = √85 units

Now as we know that the area of a square is simply the length of the side squared,

The area of the biggest square is simply (√85)^2 = 85 units^2

A bookstore had 60 copies of a magazine. Yesterday, it sold 2/3 of them. Today, it sold 4/5 of what remained. How many copies do
laiz [17]

Answer:

4 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

After yesterday's sales, 1/3 of the original supply remained. After today's sales, 1/5 of that value remain. So the remaining number is ...

60·(1/3)(1/5) = 60/15 = 4

An item on sale costs %25 of the original price. The original price was $95
lapo4ka [179]
Sale Price = $71.25 (answer). This means the cost of the item to you is $71.25. You will pay $71.25 for a item with original price of $95 when discounted 25%. In this example, if you buy an item at $95 with 25% discount, you will pay 95 - 23.75 = 71.25 dollars.
