Answer:
Difference between the distances traveled by Mary and Kate = 226 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying Pythagoras theorem in right ΔDEF,
(DE)² + (EF)² = (DF)²
By substituting DE = 264 feet and EF = 900 feet
(264)² + (900)² = (DF)²
DF = √(69696+810000)
= √879696
= 937.92
Distance traveled by Kate diagonally = 938 feet
Distance traveled by Mary = DE + EF
= 264 + 900
= 1164 feet
Difference between the distances traveled by Mary and Kate = DF - (DE + EF)
= 1164 - 937.92
= 226.07
≈ 226 feet
Answer:
stop cheating on your schoology test;)
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height
Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7
9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16
With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.
To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )
Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11
1. 1/10
2. 3/5
3. 1/10
4. 1/6
5. 3/14
