Answer:

91.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can talk about the diagram, let's name a couple of points. The base of the tree is point T, and the top of the tree is point H. We want to find the length of TH given the length AB and the angles HAT and ABT.

The tangent function is useful here. By its definition, we know that ...

TA/BA = tan(∠ABT)

and

TH/TA = tan(∠HAT)

Then we can solve for TH by substituting for TA. From the first equation, ...

TA = BA·tan(∠ABT)

From the second equation, ...

TH = TA·tan(∠HAT) = (BA·tan(∠ABT))·tan(∠HAT)

Filling in the values, we get ...

TH = (24.8 ft)tan(87.3°)tan(9.9°) ≈ 91.8 ft

The height <em>h</em> of the tree is about 91.8 ft.

Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 mill

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

V' = -0.11552 *V\\= -0.11552(1.8)\\ \\=-0.20794 million per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 million barrels of oil in the well; six years later 1,500,000 barrels remain.

i.e. if V stands for volume of oil, then

$V' =kV\\dv/V= kdt\\ln V = kt+C\\V = Ae^{kt}$

To find A and k

V(0) = A = 3 million

Hence V = $3e^{kt}$

V(6) = 1.5

i.e. $1.5 = 3e^{6k}\\ln 1.5 =ln 3 +6k\\k = -0.11552$

$V(t) = 3e^{-0.11552t}$

a) Using the above value of k , we have

$V' = -0.11552 *V\\= -0.11552(1.8)\\ \\=-0.20794$ million per year.

How do you prove similarity in math?

ra1l [238]

Answer:

AA (Angle-Angle): If triangles have two of the same angles, then the triangles are similar. SAS (Side-Angle-Side): If triangles have two pairs of proportional sides and equal included angles, then the triangles are similar.

4. Does the scatterplot have positive correlation, negative correlation, or no correlation?

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Negative Correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are approximately lined up in a linear line pointing toward the bottom right, the slope of the best fit line would be a negative value. So the scatter plot shows a negative correlation.

tim drives at an average speed of 80km per hour for 3 hours 35 minutes work out how many kilometres tim drives

Virty [35]

Answer:

286 2/3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Recalling that 1 hour = 60 minutes, we convert '3 hours 35 minutes' to

3 + (35/60) hours, or 3 35/60 hours, or 3.5833 hours.

Since distance = (rate)(time),

the distance driven by tim is (80 km/hr)(3.5833 hrs) = 286 2/3 km
