Is there’s more to this question?
9 is the answer negatives cancel out creating positve
The tree was approximately 40.8ft tall.
You use the equation, a^2+b^2=c^2.
12^2 + 39^2 = x^2, add the results of 12^2 and 39^2 to make 1665 = x^2. You can take the positive root of both sides, 3√185, and it equals 40.80441152, which is rounded to 40.8.
Using the pairs (1,32) and (2,64) the rate of speed is (64-32 / 2-1 = 32 feet per second.
To find the rate of decent you would multiply the rate by time:
The equation is y = 32x
B. Replace x with 15 and solve for y:
Y = 32(15)
Y = 480
The rate of speed is 480 feet per second.
