You need to remove a tree from your front yard. You have climbed the tree and trimmed off the branches, and you are now ready to

chop down the trunk. It is very important that the tree falls in the right direction… away from your house. You have attached a wire to the top of the trunk. You will attach the other end of the wire to the ground and pull it tightly so that when the trunk begins to fall, the wire will pull it in the right direction. The trunk is 24 feet tall and you are going to attach the wire to the ground 10 feet away from the base of the trunk. a) How long must your wire be to reach the ground?

Answer:

26 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the required wire =l

The height of the tree =24 cm

We want the tree to fall to the ground 10 feet away from the base.

Ths problem forms a right triangle which I have drawn and attached below.

To determine the length of the wire l required, we use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

B$y Pythagoras theorem: Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\$Therefore:\\l^2=24^2+10^2\\l^2=676\\$Take the square root of both sides\\l=\sqrt{676}\\ l=26$ feet

Thw wire must be 26 feet long to reach the ground.

As part of a survey, 1200 people were asked to name their favorite sport to watch. The table below summarizes their answers. Thi
vredina [299]

Answer:

x° is 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given of the survey of the 1,200 people is the table of values and a corresponding a pie-chart

From the table of values, we have;

The total number of participants in the survey, n = 324 + 360 + 108 + 156 + 96 + 156 = 1,200

The number of the participants in the survey that selected soccer as their favorite sport, sₙ = 360

The fraction of the participants in the survey that selected soccer as their favorite sport, Psₙ = Sₙ/n

∴ Psₙ = 360/1200 = 0.3

Therefore, 0.3, which is equivalent to 30% chose soccer as their favorite sport

To represent the fraction of the survey participants that selected soccer as their favorite sport on a pie chart, 0.3, we note that the sum of the angles at the center of the pie chart is 360°, therefore, the angle that is given to soccer on the pie chart, 'x', is the product of 0.3 and 360° as follows;

x° = 0.3 × 360°  = 108°

x° = 108°

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,2) and has a slope of 4/5
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{5} x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = \frac{4}{5} , then

y = \frac{4}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 5, 2 ) into the partial equation

2 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 4 = 6

y = \frac{4}{5} x + 6 ← equation of line
