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.

In a certain quiz that consists of 10 questions, each question after the first is worth 4 points more than the preceding questio
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C. 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s suppose that the first question is worth ‘’x’’ amount of points. Then the second question will be worth x+4, the third question x+8, the fourth question x+12, the fifth x+ 16, the sixth x+20, the seventh x+24, the eighth x+ 28, the ninth x+ 32, and the last one x + 36.

The sum of the points of all these questions is equal to 10x + 180. Since the quiz has a total of 360 points, then

10x + 180 = 360.

Solving for x we get:

X = 18.

This means that the first question is worth 18 points, the second one 22 points (18 +4), the third one 26 points(18+4+4), and so on.

Amy wants to estimate 11% of $9.11. what is a good estimate of the answer
arsen [322]
Amy can estimate with 10% instead, so she can just simply move the decimal point of $9.11 to the right, and so it will be estimated to more than 91 cents.
