10 ft i think. 5/9 of 180 (which is 12 x 15) is 100 and 10 x 10 is 100

SOH,CAH, TOA so it would be TANGENT since it would be Opposite over Adjacent. Tan(15) = 9/a put Tan(15) onto your calculator it would be .267949 round that to .27 = 9/a cross multiply
a = 33.588. C is the correct answer.

Eighth grade ) T.5 Pythagorean theorem: word problems 87U

Komok [63]

Answer:

The tree is 12 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the length of where the bird was sitting to the oak tree

let b represent the height of the tree

let c represent the length at which the bird flew

by pythagoras theorem

c²=a²+b²

b²=c²-a²

$b = \sqrt{ {c}^{2} - {a}^{2} }$

subtitute in the values

$b = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} - {9}^{2} }$

$b = \sqrt{225 - 81}$

$b = \sqrt{144}$

$b = 12$

James has $5.00 more than three times what Catherine has. Together they have $41.00. How much does each student have?

Tpy6a [65]

Hey.

acc'g to the conditions :

Let Catherine has x
and James has 5 + 3x

Then,

$5 + 4x = 41 \\ \\ \implies 4x +5 -5 = 41-5 \\ \\ \implies 4x = 36 \\ \\ \implies x= \dfrac{36}{4} \\ \\ \implies x = 9$

Hence

• Catherine has = x = $9,
• and James has = 5 +3x = 5 + 3(9) = $32

Thanks.
