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

Cindy's age, x, is 3 times her age 6 years ago which equation represents the statement x=3(x-6) or x=3-6x or x=3x-6 or x=3x+6
WINSTONCH [101]
Let's denote Cindy's age which is unknown with X
We know that Cindy's age is 3 times her age 6 years ago. 
6 years ago Cindy's age was the present age (X) - 6 : X-6
The fact that the  present age is 3 times her age 6 year ago can be written as:
3*(X-6)
So, finally:
X=3*(X-6)

Akiko is making a pizza. The radius of the pizza is 19 inches. What is the circumference of the pizza (use 3.14 for pi and round
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

≈119.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area for circumference is as follows:

C = 2\pi r\\or\\C = d\pi

The above equations mean the same thing, because the diameter is just 2 times the radius.

Anyhow, we insert this value into the equation...

C = 2\pi(19)\\C = 38(3.14)\\C = 119.32\\

This rounds to:

≈119.3
