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.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, $22 is correct

If Helen Ming receives travel allowance of $220 from her company for time away from home

She has a 10% income tax rate

The amount she has to pay in taxes for the employee benefits is

10% of $220

10/100*$220

=0.1*$220

=$22

So you are correct

The only reason why you could be wrong is if the question is different from what you posted above just like the below question

Helen Ming receives a travel allowance of $220 each week from her company for time away from home. If this allowance is taxable and she has a 15 percent income tax rate, what amount will she have to pay in taxes for this employee benefit?

Here the amount she has to pay for the employee benefits is

15% of $220

15/100*$220

=0.15*$220

=$33

Graph the line y+3x=-3​
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:  y = -3x-3 (Choose values for x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st change the equation to y = mx+b form

In order to change the equation to y = mx+b form subtract the 3x to both sides.
The equation now becomes y = -3x-3

2nd we can either choose values for x such has (-2,-1,0,1,2) and plug in those values into our equation y = -3x-3
For example, if we plug in x= -2 we get y= -3(-2)-3 which becomes y =3. We then plot the point (-2,3) because -2 is our x coordinate and 3 is our y coordinate.
Or we can plug the equation into a calculator that will graph the equation for you.

Which relation defined by a mapping diagram is not a function?
Schach [20]
If one element in the domain mapped with more then one element in the range, the mapping is called one-to-many relation. One-to-many relations are not functions. Example: Draw a mapping diagram for the function f(x)=2x2+3 in the set of real numbers.
