Proportion:- 

 27       4.5
------ =  -------
  x          5

x = height of tree.

4.5 · x = 27 · 5
4.5 · x = 135

135 ÷ 4.5 = 30 

SO,

x = 30

The tree is 30 ft long.

Hope i helped ya!!

The area of a rectangle is 28 m', and the length of the rectangle is 1 m more than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the r
Marianna [84]

Answer:

8m ×3.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle= length ×width

Let the length and width of the rectangle be L and W meters respectively.

Area of rectangle= LW

LW= 28 -----(1)

L= 2W +1 -----(2)

Subst. (2) into (1):

(2W +1)(W)= 28

<em>Expand:</em>

2W² +W= 28

<em>-28 on both sides:</em>

2W² +W -28= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(W +4)(2W -7)= 0

W +4=0 or 2W -7=0

W= -4 (reject) or W= 3.5

Substitute W= 3.5 into (2):

L= 2(3.5) +1

L= 7 +1

L= 8

∴ The dimensions of the rectangle is 8m ×3.5m.

What is the mean absolute deviation of 42 31 1 1 2 4 5 6 7 3
FromTheMoon [43]

The mean absolute deviation is 10.52.

<h3>What is the mean absolute deviation?</h3>

The mean absolute deviation of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean. It is a measure of variation of a data set.

MAD =1/n  ∑ l x - m(x) l

Where:

n = total numbers in the data set

x = number

m(x) - median

The first step is to determine the mean of the data set: (42 + 31 + 1 + 1 + 2 4+ 5 + 6 + 7 + 3) / 10 = 10.2

Find the absolute value of the difference between the number and the mean. Add the result | (42 - 10.2) + (31 - 10.2) + (1 _ 10.2)  + (1 - 10.2)  + (2 - 10.2)  + (4 - 10.2)  + (5 - 10.2)  + (6 - 10.2)  + (7 - 10.2)  + (3 - 10.2) = 105.2

Divide the sum by the total number in the dataset = 105.2 / 10 = 10.52

Explain the difference between a greatest common factor and a least common multpule
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The Greatest Common Factor, the GCF, is the biggest ("greatest") number that will divide into (that is, the largest number that is a factor of) both 2940 and 3150. On the other hand, the Least Common Multiple, the LCM, is the smallest ("least") number that both 2940 and 3150 will divide into.

Which equation is the equation of a circle with a diameter of 20 cm and center at (-3, 6)?
larisa86 [58]
The equation of a circle with centre (a,b) and radius r is:
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2
thus,
here centre (a,b) = (-3,6), a = -3, b = 6
and radius  = diameter/2 = 20/2 =10 units
therefore, the equation is
(x + 3)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 100
which is c.
