Answer:

Ryan is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Laura says that the distance between (4, -2) and (4, -7) in the coordinate plane is  equal to 1-2-(-7) units.

Here, x-coordinates are same, so the distance between these points is the difference between y-coordinates.

Distance between (4, -2) and (4, -7) = -2-(-7)

                                                           = -2+7

                                                           = 5 units.

So, Laura is incorrect.

Ryan says that the distance between the points (2, 3) and (-9,3) in the coordinate  plane is equal to 2 + 9 units.

Here, y-coordinates are same, so the distance between these points is the difference between x-coordinates.

Distance between (2, 3) and (-9,3) = 2-(-9)

                                                         = 2+9

                                                          = 11 units.

Therefore, Ryan is correct.

A tree 12m high is broken by the wind in such a way that its top touches the ground and makes an angle 60° with the ground. at w
Katena32 [7]

The height of broken part of tree from ground is 5.569m.

Justification:

Let BD is a tree of height 12 m.

<u>Suppose it got bent at a point C and let the part CD take the position CA, meeting the ground at A</u>.

i.e., CD = AC = h m

<u>Broken part makes 60° angle from ground</u>

So, ∠BAC = 60°

<u>Now, height of remaining part of tree</u> = (12 – h)m.

In right angled ∆ABC,

sin 60° = BC/AC

⇒ √3/2 = (12 - h)/h

⇒ √3h = 2(12 – h)

⇒ √3h = 24 – 2h

⇒ √3h + 2h = 24

⇒ h(√3 + 2) = 24

⇒ h(1.732 + 2) = 24

⇒ h(3.732) = 24

⇒ h = 24/3.732 = 6.4308 m

<u>Hence, height of broken tree from ground</u>

⇒ BC = 12 – h

⇒ 12 – 6.4308 = 5.569m

<u>Hence, tree is broken 5.569 m from ground</u>.

<u>Note</u>: See attached picture.

How many people can Liam buy lunch for
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

At most, Liam can only buy lunch for 6 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

It isn't going to be a decimal answer because there can't be half of a person

All you have to do is divide 50 by 8 and round down because you don't want to spend more than 50 dollars.

Writing it mathematically, it would be:

p \leq 6
