Answer: 8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. First, you can draw the diagram shown in the image attached.

3. Now, you must use proportions and solve for x, which is the height of the tree:

\frac{x}{9}=\frac{4}{4.5}\\x=\frac{(4)(9)}{4.5}\\x=\frac{36}{4.5}\\x=8

4. As you can see, the height of the tree is 8 feet.

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you're being asked to identify the sequence of steps you would use to compute the volume of the pyramid.

It seems to be a good idea to start with the formula for the volume.

Then, recognize that you need to compute B, so make that computation. The area of the base (B) is the product of the base dimensions (14)(12).

Once you have the value of B, then you can put that, along with the value of h, into the original volume formula.

Evaluating it gives the volume in cubic units.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you're familiar with the pyramid volume formula, you know that you must compute B before you can make use of the formula. That makes the sequence be B=14(12); B=168; V=1/3Bh; V=1/3(168)(7).

However, if you're starting from scratch, it is probably good to begin with the volume formula. That is what tells you that you need to find B in the first place. This is the sequence we show below.

Farmer Smith enclosed his rectangular pasture with fence that cost him $1.50 per linear meter. If his pasture is twice as long a
maria [59]

Answer:

$2,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pasture be x, this means that the length of the pasture will be 2x

The area of a rectangle is L * B

Hence,

x * 2x = 18,000

2x^2 = 180,000

x^2 = 90000

x = 300 meters

This means the length is 600 metres

Now, to get the length of the fence, we need to know the actual perimeter which is 2(L + B)

= 2 ( 300 + 600)

2 * 900 = 1,800 metres

The cost is thus 1,800 * $1.50 = $2,700

Investments increase exponentially by
Blizzard [7]

Using an exponential function, it is found that you would have $10,240 after 18 years.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

Considering the initial value of $2,500, and the growth rate of 60% every 6 years, the equation is given by:

A(t) = 2500(1.6)^\frac{t}{6}

Hence, after 18 years, the amount is given by:

A(18) = 2500(1.6)^\frac{18}{6} = 10240
