Irene places a mirror on the ground 24ft away from the base of an oak tree. She walks backward until she can see the top of the

tree in the middle of the mirror. At that point, Irene's eyes are 4 ft from the mirror. At that point, Irene's eyes are 5.5ft above the ground, and her feet are 4 ft from the mirror. How tall is the oak tree? explain.

First, illustrate the problem:

24 feet is the distance between the tree and the mirror. 
4 feet is the distance from Irene's eyes to the mirror. 
5.5 feet is the distance of Irene's eyes from the ground.
4 feet is the distance of Irene from the mirror

From this, we can draw a right triangle and then use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height of the oak tree. Also, we have an option to use ratio and proportion between two similar triangles.

Barba can walk 3200 meters in 24 minutes.How far can she walk on 3 mins
SashulF [63]

Answer:

400 meters in 3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First find  how far she can walk in 1 minute.

3200/24 = 133 1/3.

She can walk 133 1/3 meters in 1 minute. If we want to find out how far she can walk in 3 minutes. Multiply that number by 3.

133 1/3 * 3 = 400.

Hope that helps.

Find the area of a circle with a diameter of four
Elis [28]

Answer:

12.57

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the area of a circle is \pi r^{2}

the diameter is 2 times the radius, so dividing it by 2 gives you a radius of 2

substitute the 2 for the r in the formula and solve

\pi 2^{2}

4\pi

≈12.57

Determine whether a quadratic model exists for the set of values below. If​ so, write the model. f(0) = -4, f(3) = -19, f(-1) =
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

  A) The model exists: f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic model will always exist for 3 given points, provided they are not on a line. In that case, a linear model is appropriate.

Here, the slope between -1 and 0 is positive, and the slope between 0 and 3 is negative. Thus, we know these points are not collinear, and a model must exist.

The model is most easily found using a quadratic regression tool. Such is shown in the attachment. It tells us that ...

  f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4
