Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height = 4 feet

Given that the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year for the next 6 years. At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

Let the rate of growing each year be g.

After 6 years height of tree = 4 + 6g

After 4 years height of tree = 4 + 4g

At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

That is

                4+6g=4+4g+\frac{4+4g}{5}\\\\4+6g=\frac{20+20g+4+4g}{5}\\\\20+30g=24+24g\\\\6g=4\\\\g=\frac{2}{3}ft/year

Option D is the correct answer.

How do I prove that a quadrilateral is a rectangle?
maw [93]
I think you want to prove that a rectangle is a quadrilateral. You can prove this with definitions. The definition of a quadrilateral is that it is a shape with four sides. Since a rectangle has four sides, that proves that a rectangle is a quadrilateral.

A basketball with a radius of 24.1 cm rolls 8.0m in 11 seconds. what is the angular frequency of the ball?
Dominik [7]
The formula for angular frequency is:

ω = velocity/radius

Since we are given distance(8.0m) and time(11 seconds) , we can also express the formula as:

ω = distance/(radius)(time)

Substituting the given values:

8.0m/(0.241m)(11s)

Which would give us the answer of 3.03 seconds.

Hope this answer helps.
