Answer:

12.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the trigonometric function of Sine

sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

θ = 42°

Hypotenuse = 19 foot ladder

Opposite side = Distance of the cat from the ground(height of the tree)= unknown

sin 42° = Opposite/19 feet

Opposite = sin 42° × 19

Opposite = 12.713481521 feet

Approximately to the nearest tenth of a foot = 12.7 feet.

Therefore, the cat was 12.7 feet above the ground.

Answer:

a) see below

b) 40x20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Write down what you know:

- The area of the enclosure is length*width, so

$A = x \cdot y$

- The length of the fencing is 80 meters, so

$2y + x = 80$

Now we have to combine these two equations above, and get rid of y in the process.

First rewrite the second as:

$y = 40 - \frac12 x$

Then substitute for y in the first:

$A = x (40 - \frac12 x) = 40x - \frac12x^2$

b) To maximize A, find the zero of the first derivative:

$A'(x) = 40 - x = 0 \implies x=40$

So y = (80-40)/2 = 20 meters.
