Answer:

<u>The height of the tree is √65 or 8.06 feet</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find out the height of the tree, this way:

Hypotenuse = length of the ladder = 9 feet

Leg 1 = Distance from the base of the tree to bottom of the ladder = 4 feet

Leg 2 = Height of the tree

Now, replacing with the real values we have:

Leg 2 ² = Hypotenuse² - Leg 1²

Leg 2² = 9² - 4²

Leg 2² = 81 - 16

Leg 2² = 65

√Leg 2² = √65

Leg 2 = √65 or 8.06 feet

<u>The height of the tree is √65 or 8.06 feet</u>

If the area of a circle is 16pi what is the circumference of the circle, circle b, if its radius is 1/2 that of the circle a
Natasha2012 [34]
First find the radius of circle A. You know that the equation is r^2*pi, so just divide both by pi.
r^2*pi=16pi
/pi          /pi
r^2=16
R is 4. That means that circle B is 2, since its radius is half that of circle A.
C=pi2r
C=pi2(2)
C=pi4
C=4pi
The answer is 4pi.

Solve the equation for x
KengaRu [80]
You can do this 2 ways, one is knowing the special right triangles called triplets. An example of a triplet would be 3-4-5 where the largest value is the hypotenuse. In this example, the other 2 sides are 3 and 4 and the missing side is the hypotenuse, so using the knowledge of triplets, we can find that the hypotenuse is 5.

algebraically, we can use the Pythagorean theorem; a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the opposite and adjacent and where c is the hypotenuse. We can then substitute in the values to get : 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2. When simplified, we get 9+16=c^2. Simplify further, and get 25=c^2. Now we Square root both sides to solve for C. Finally, we get C=5. Your missing side is 5.
