suppose you are standing on one bank of the river. A tree on the other side of the river is known to be 150ft tall. A line from

the top of the tree to the ground at your feet makes an angle of 11 degrees with the ground.How far from you is the base of the tree.

You can use trigonometry and the tangent to get:
tan(11°)=150/x
so x=772 ft

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21m. what is the volume of the sphere.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 14m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of the cylinder = $21m^3$

Required

Volume of the sphere

Given that the volume of the cylinder is 21, the first step is to solve for the radius of the cylinder;

<em>Using the volume formula of a cylinder</em>

The formula goes thus

$V = \pi r^2h$

Substitute 21 for V; this gives

$21 = \pi r^2h$

Divide both sides by h

$\frac{21}{h} = \frac{\pi r^2h}{h}$

$\frac{21}{h} = \pi r^2$

The next step is to solve for the volume of the sphere using the following formula;

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Divide both sides by r

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3r}\pi r^3$

Expand Expression

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^2$

Substitute $\frac{21}{h} = \pi r^2$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{21}{h}$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{84}{3h}$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{28}{h}$

Multiply both sided by r

$r * \frac{V}{r} = \frac{28}{h} * r$

$V = \frac{28r}{h}$ ------ equation 1

From the question, we were given that the height of the cylinder and the sphere have equal value;

This implies that the height of the cylinder equals the diameter of the sphere. In other words

$h = D$ , where D represents diameter of the sphere

Recall that $D = 2r$

So, $h = D = 2r$

$h = 2r$

Substitute 2r for h in equation 1

$V = \frac{28r}{2r}$

$V = \frac{28}{2}$

$V = 14$

Hence, the volume of the sphere is 14m³

Trava [24]

In here, we could write an equality as x – 12 < 65. In solving inequalities, we follow the same rule as solving algebraic expressions. We will transpose 12 to the other side, giving us x < 65 + 12. Simplifying, we have x < 77. Geraldo must have a bill less than $77 in order for him not to spend more than $65.

Answer:

It is the distance that - 5 is from 0 on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to select a statement that is true about the value of StartAbsoluteValue negative 5 EndAbsoluteValue i.e. |- 5|

Definition of the absolute value function is given by, |x| = x for, x ≥ 0 and |x| = - x for x < 0.

Now, an absolute value function gives the positive value of any value in the function i.e. |- 5| = 5.

Therefore, it is the distance that - 5 is from 0 on the number line. (Answer)

What is an equation of a line,in point-slope from, that passes through (1, -7) and has a slope of -2/3

il63 [147K]

Answer:

y + 7 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1) ← in point- slope form
