Answer: approximately 49 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the tree is shown in the attached photo. The tree fell with its tip forming an angle of 36 degrees with the ground. It forms a right angle triangle,ABC. Angle C is gotten by subtracting the sum of angle A and angle B from 180(sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees).
To determine the height of the tree, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Tan # = opposite/ adjacent
Where # = 36 degrees
Opposite = x feets
Adjacent = 25 feets
Tan 36 = x/25
x = 25tan36
x = 25 × 0.7265
x = 18.1625
Height of the tree from the ground to the point where it broke = x = 18.1625 meters.
The entire height of the tree would be the the length of the fallen side of the tree, y + 18.1625m
To get y, we will use Pythagoras theorem
y^2 = 25^2 + 18.1625^2
y^2 = 625 + 329.88
y^2 = 954.88
y = √954.88 = 30.9 meters
Height of the tree before falling was
18.1625+30.9 = 49.0625
The height of the tree was approximately 49 feets
Answer:
The median, because the data is skewed
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = 12.75
Mode = 12
Median = 12
The numbers of gallons bought every stop are extraneous...you can ignore them. Add 1.68, 1.76 and 1.65 together and divide the total by three. The average is 1.69
Answer:
substitute that value for x in the polynomial and see if it evaluates to zero
Step-by-step explanation:
A "zero" of a polynomial is a value of the polynomial's variable that make the expression become zero when it is evaluated. As an almost trivial example, consider the polynomial x-3. The value x = 3 is a zero because substituting that value for x makes the expression evaluate as zero.
3 -3 = 0

Evaluating polynomials can be done different ways. Straight substitution for the variable is one way. Using synthetic division by x-a (where "a" is the value of interest) is another way. This latter method is completely equivalent to rewriting the polynomial to Horner form for evaluation.
