Answer:

The height of the tree is H = 77.06 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From Δ ABC

AB = height of the tree

\tan 43.9 = \frac{AB}{BC}

\tan 43.9 = \frac{h}{x}

h = 0.9623 x ------- (1)

From Δ ABD

\tan 37.6 = \frac{h}{20+ x}

h = 0.77 (x + 20) ----- (2)

Equating Equation  1 & 2 we get

0.9623 x =  0.77 (x + 20)

0.9623 x = 0.77 x + 15.4

x (0.1923) = 15.4

x = 80.08 m

Thus the height of the tree is given by

H = 0.9623 x

H = 0.9623 × 80.08

H = 77.06 m

Therefore the height of the tree is H = 77.06 m

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The first inequality is graphed as a shaded area below the solid line with x-and y-intercepts of 7.5 and 5, respectively. The second inequality is graphed as a shaded area above the solid line with x- and y-intercepts of 3.

The solution set is the set of integer-valued grid points one or between the lines.

__

B. The point (5, 1) is included in the solution area. Mathematically, it can be shown to satisfy the two inequalities:

  2(5) +3(1) ≤ 15   ⇒   13 ≤ 15   True

  (5) +(1) ≥ 3   ⇒   6 ≥ 3   True

__

C. The point (5, 1) is in the solution set. It means Michael can purchase 5 sandwiches and 1 hot lunch within his budget constraints. That will provide 6 meals, which is more than the minimum of 3 that he wants to provide.

german

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x  = 2x + 9

3x = 9

x = 3

AB= 5(3)= 15

BC= 2(5) + 9= 10 + 9 = 19

AC= 15 + 19 = 34

Please help I’m lost it has to be 3 or 2 or more answers by the way and I will except answers from Expert, Ace, or Genius or any
deff fn [24]
The correct answer is only A, because you need the tenths place to be greater than the number on the left, and not just the hundredths place.

P.S. Even though I'm a beginner, I took Multi-Variable calculus in 12th grade.
P.P.S. STOP PUTTING ON RANDOM ANSWERS ON QUESTIONS JUST SO YOU CAN GET THE POINTS!!!!!!
