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.

I dont know. Help?<br> Please and Thanks

Answer:

Y' (5, -3), Z' (3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation is right 4 and down 1.  Since you are going from (3, -4) to (7, -5), to get from 3 to 7 on the x axis you move right 4. To get from -4 to -5 on the y axis, you go down 1.

Y (1, -2) add 4 to the x value. 1 + 4 = 5.  Add -1 to the y value. -2 + -1 = -3. Y' (5, -3)

Z (-1, -1). Add 4 to the x value. 4 + (-1) = 3.  Add -1 to the y value. -1 + (-1) = -2.

Please help me, I’ve been stuck on this question for a long time.

Answer:

1/64

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 equal sections

P(1) = 1/8  since there is one section with a 1 out of the 8 sections

Then we spin again

P(2) = 1/8 since there is one section with a 2 out of the 8 sections

P(1, then 2) = P(1) * P(2) since they are independent events

                  = 1/8 * 1/8

                   = 1/64

Find the volume to the nearest cm3<br> 20 cm<br> 35 cm<br> 12 cm

Answer: 10380cm^3

Explanation:

Find the volume of half cylinder:

V = (pi x r^2 x h)/2 (I use pi = 22/7 for simplifying)
V = 22/7 x 6^2/2 x 35
V = 22/7 x 36/2 x 35
V = 22/7 x 35 x 18
V = 22 x 5 x 18
V = 1980cm^3

Find the volume of the rectangle:

V = 20 x 35 x 12
V = 240 x 5 x 7
V = 1200 x 7
V = 8400cm^3

Find the volume of the whole shape:

V = 1980 + 8400
V = 10380cm^3
