Use the information in the diagram to determine the height of the tree. The diagram is not a scale

1 answer:

6 0

In the given diagram, we can note that the tree divides the hypotenuse of the triangle as well as the side where the tree is based into halves.

In a triangle, when a line is drawn joining between the midpoints of two sides, this line is always parallel to the third side and equals half its length.

Applying this concept to the given diagram here, we will find that the tree is joining the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. this means that the tree is parallel to the building and the height of the tree is half the height of the building.

Therefore:
height of tree = 0.5 * 120 = 60 ft

When can you use the square roots of perfect squares to determine the perfect roots of decimals ?

Alika [10]

If you want to find the decimal value of a square root, you can use the 2 closest perfect squares to them.

Example

Approximate the value of sqrt20

Pick the 2 closest perfect squares, one before and one after 20:

16 and 25.

So, the square root of 20 has to be between 4 and 5.

Since 20 is closer to 16 than it is to 25,

We can estimate the decimal value of sqrt20 to be around 4.4
