Answer:

approximate 23.590 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 65° = x / 11 = 2.145

x = 11 x 2.145 = 23.595

Answer: 23. 590

Step-by-step explanation:

Fromthe diagram attached here

hypotenuse = 11

adjacent = height of tree =x

θ = 65

Tan θ = Opposite / adjacent

tan65 = x / 11

cross multiply

x = 11 × tan65

x = 11 × 2. 1445

x = 23. 589

x = 23. 590 approximately

Therefore the height of the tree is 23. 590

i don't understand how to make it into a graphing form? how do you find the center and radius? (I'm confused because it has a 4x
Vilka [71]

Answer: \bold{(x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}}

               Center = (2, 3)          radius = \bold{\dfrac{1}{2}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

When both the x² and y² values are equal and positive, the shape is a circle. Complete the square to put the equation in format:

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²    where

  • (h, k) is the vertex
  • r is the radius

1) Group the x's and y's together and move the number to the right side

   4x² - 16x         + 4y² - 24y               = -51        

2) Factor out the 4 from the x² and y²

    4(x² - 4x          ) + 4(y² - 6y            ) = -51

3) Complete the square (divide the x and y value by 2 and square it)

    4[x^2-4x+\bigg(\dfrac{-4}{2}\bigg)^2]+4[y^2-6y+\bigg(\dfrac{-6}{2}\bigg)^2]=-51+4\bigg(\dfrac{-4}{2}\bigg)^2+4\bigg(\dfrac{-6}{2}\bigg)^2

  = 4(x - 2)² + 4(y - 3)² = -51 + 4(-2)² + 4(-3)²

  = 4(x - 2)² + 4(y - 3)² = -51 + 4(4) + 4(9)

  = 4(x - 2)² + 4(y - 3)² = -51 +  16  +  36

  = 4(x - 2)² + 4(y - 3)² = 1

4) Divide both sides by 4

   (x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}

  • (h, k) = (2, 3)
  • r=\dfrac{1}{2}

Make x the subject of the formula<br> х<br> +b=<br> a
blagie [28]

Answer:

x = a(c - b)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

x/a + b = c

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract <em>b</em> on both sides:                    x/a = c - b
  2. Multiply <em>a</em> on both sides:                     x = a(c - b)
