5 x 27=135
3 x x= 135
135/3=45 = lenght of tree

Answer:

The tree is 45 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drawing this out will make it much easier.

In the figure, 3 is proportional to 27, and 5 is proportional to the missing side (x).

Insert the figures into an equation and solve:

3/5 *  27/x

Cross multiply:

3(x)= 27(5)

3x=135

135/3=x

x=45

If the radius is 18 cm and the angle at centre of circle is 120° then the
PolarNik [594]

The area of a sector is 339.336 cm²

The area of a sector is defined to be as the region of space bounded by a boundary from the center of the circle.

It can be determined by using the formula:

\mathbf{A = \dfrac{\theta }{360}\times \pi r^2 }

Given that;

  • Radius r = 18 cm
  • Angle θ =  120°

Then. the area of the sector can be calculated as:

\mathbf{A = \dfrac{120}{360}\times \pi (18)^2 }

\mathbf{A = \dfrac{1}{3}\times 3.142 \times 324 }

A = 339.336 cm²

Use the distance formula to determine whether ABCD below is a parallelogram. A(-3,2) B(-3,3) C (5,-3) D (-1.-5)
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

ABCD is not a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine whether ABCD below is a parallelogram. A(-3,2) B(-3,3) C (5,-3) D (-1.-5)

We have to find the length of the sides of the parallelogram using the formula below

= √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² when given vertices (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

For side AB

A(-3,2) B(-3,3)

= √(-3 -(-3))² + (3 -2)²

= √0² + 1²

= √1

= 1 unit

For side BC

B(-3,3) C (5,-3)

= √(5 -(-3))² + (-3 -3)²

= √8² + -6²

= √64 + 36

= √100

= 10 units

For side CD

C (5,-3) D (-1.-5)

= √(-1 - 5)² + (-5 - (-3))²

= √-6² + -2²

= √36 + 4

= √40 units

For sides AD

A(-3,2) D (-1.-5)

= √(-1 - (-3))² + (-5 -2)²

= √(2² + -7²)

= √(4 + 49)

= √53 units

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with it's opposite sides equal

From the above calculation

Side AB ≠ CD

BC ≠ AD

Therefore, ABCD is not a parallelogram

The only point outside of the line is (2, 0)

In order to find if a point is outside, inside or on the line, you simply have to put the number into the equation. If the result is both sides are equal, then it is on the line. If the left side is bigger than the right side, then it is outside of the line. If the right side is bigger than the left, then it is inside of the line. So lets plug in and see where (2, 0) falls.

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

(2 - 2)^2 + (0 + 3)^2 = 4

0^2 + 3^2 = 4

0 + 9 = 4

9 = 4

Since the left side is bigger than the right, we know it is outside of the line.

The polygons are similar, but not necessarily drawn to scale. Find the value of x.
alexandr402 [8]

If the shapes are similar, the correspondent sides are in proportion:

AB\div DE = BC \div EF

Let's plug the values and solve for x:

5x \div 5 = 4 \div x \iff \dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{4}{x}\iff x = \dfrac{4}{x}

Multiply both sides by x to get

x^2=4 \iff x=\pm2

The only feasible solution, though, is x=2, because it wouldn't make sense to have negative lengths.
