Answer: approximately 49 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the tree is shown in the attached photo. The tree fell with its tip forming an angle of 36 degrees with the ground. It forms a right angle triangle,ABC. Angle C is gotten by subtracting the sum of angle A and angle B from 180(sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees).

To determine the height of the tree, we will apply trigonometric ratio

Tan # = opposite/ adjacent

Where # = 36 degrees

Opposite = x feets

Adjacent = 25 feets

Tan 36 = x/25

x = 25tan36

x = 25 × 0.7265

x = 18.1625

Height of the tree from the ground to the point where it broke = x = 18.1625 meters.

The entire height of the tree would be the the length of the fallen side of the tree, y + 18.1625m

To get y, we will use Pythagoras theorem

y^2 = 25^2 + 18.1625^2

y^2 = 625 + 329.88

y^2 = 954.88

y = √954.88 = 30.9 meters

Height of the tree before falling was

18.1625+30.9 = 49.0625

The height of the tree was approximately 49 feets

If n is a term of the sequence 14, 8, 2, -4, …, which expression would you give the value of n?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

-6n+20

Step-by-step explanation:

The given  term of sequece is  14, 8, 2, -4, …,

Here the first term is 14 and then the terms are decreasing by 6 each time  because 14-8=8-2=...=6

As we know that the nth term of the sequence is given by the formula

t_n=a+(n-1)d\\\text{Substitute the values we get}\\t_n=14+(n-1)(-6)\\t_n=14-6n+6\\t_n=20-6n\\

If n is a term of the given sequence sequence, then its value is -6n+20

Penny and Kenny have the same number of football cards.
Pachacha [2.7K]
Hello,
Penny==>a*10 (a is an integer)
Kenny==>b*18 (b is an integer)

a*10=b*18==>a=9*b/5 ==>b=5+n*5
a=9*(5+5*n)/5=9*(1+n)=9+9n
If n=0 then a=9 and b=5 :Number od cards: 9*10=10, 5*18=90
if n=1 then a=19 and b=10: Number of cards: 19*10=190>100 to exclude.

So number of cards=90

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth.
nordsb [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

here,,

a=3,b=10,C=120°

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab cos120°

=(3)^2 +(10)^2 _2 (3)(10)(-1/2) [cos120°=-1/2]

=9+100-(-30)

=109+30

=139

c=(139 )1/2=11.79

c=12
