Logan genetically engineered a new type of fir tree and a new type of pine tree. The combined height of one fir tree and one pin

e tree is 2121 meters. The height of 44 fir trees stacked on top of each other is 2424 meters taller than one pine tree. How tall are the types of trees that Logan genetically engineered? Each fir tree is meters tall and each pine tree is meters tall.

Answer:

Fir trees are 9 meters and the pine trees are 12 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the fir tree = x and the height of the pine tree = y (in meters).

It is given that the combined height of both the trees is 21 meters.

That is, x+y=21

Also, the height of 4 fir trees is 24 meters more than that of the pine tree.

That is, 4x=y+24 i.e. 4x-y=24

So, we get the system of equations,

x+y=21

4x-y=24

Adding both the equations, gives us,

5x = 45 i.e. x=  9.

So, x+y=21 ⇒ y= 21 - x ⇒ y= 21 - 9 ⇒ y= 12.

Thus, the fir trees are 9 meters tall and the pine trees are 12 meters tall.

Use scientific notation to estimate the number of inches in 1,225 miles
madam [21]
First, find the number of inches
<span>1225 Miles = 77616000 Inches

then, move the decimal to until you have a ones place.    </span>
<span>77616000.    the decimal for this number moves to the left SEVEN places.
you end up with 7.7616000
</span>
it will look like this:

7.8 * 10^7

I rounded to the .8 because you didn't state how many significant figures, but it could easily be 7.76 * 10^7

the exponent above the 10 will tell you how many places to move. to get back to your original number, move it back to the right seven places. Of course, you would have to place hold the numbers with 0s. If it were negative, you would move the decimal the opposite way.

Which of the following illustrates the truth value of the given conditional statement?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Option A. F  T  →  F</em></u>

Explanation:

A conditional is represented by:

  • p → q

Where p is called the antecedent, and q is the consequent.

Thus, a conditional states that if the antecedent is true, its consequent is also true; also, if the consequent is false, then the antecedent must be false.

On the other hand, if the antecedent is true, the consequent can be either true or false.

<u>1. State the antecedent of the conditional and is truth value</u>

  • Antecedent: 6 > 10
  • Truth value: False, because 6 is not greater than 10.

<u>2. State the consequent of the conditional and its truh value</u>

  • 8 • 3 = 24
  • Truth value: True, because 8 times 3 is 24.

<u>3. Truth value of the conditional</u>

Hence, the truth value of the conditional is:

  • False      Truth        →     Truth, or
  • F   T   →   T

Which is the option A.

Veata wants to know what percent of students at her school are left-hand dominant. Veata recalls that when students were randoml
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Randomly assigned group. the art class isn't random and only consists of a select type of people--it is not a representative sample; maybe more left handed people enjoy art than do right handed people! therefore, even though the randomly assigned group is smaller, it is the better estimate.

Pls answer asap!!ty!!<br> Please label the missing angles below.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Triangle A: 38 degrees

Triangle B: Unknown (not enough information)

Triangle C: Unknown (not enough information)

Triangle D: 70 degrees

Triangle E: 40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Work for Triangle A: 90 + 52 = 142. 180 - 142 = 38.

Work for Triangle B: Unidentifiable because there is no indicator to tell you if any of the angles/lines are equal. Generally there will be a "double lined" indicator in the corners of which a triangles angles are equal.

Work for Triangle C: Same as B.

Work for Triangle D: 90 + 20 = 110. 180 - 110 = 70.

Work for Triangle E: 90 + 50 = 140. 180 - 140 = 40.
