Answer: 4 meters.

Step-by-step explanation: You need to set up the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. The c is the hypotenuse. A is 3 because it is the height. We are trying to find b, the distance from the flower to the tree. C is 5.

Plug in the numbers.

3^2 + b^2 = 5^2.

Simplify.

9 + b^2 = 25.

Isolate b by subtracting 9 from each side.

B^2 =16.

Square root each side.

B = 4.

The flower is 4 meters away from the base of the tree.

It is 4 meters from the base of the tree.
Imagine a right triangle. The right angle is formed by the line from the nest to the ground, and the line from the tree to the flower. The hypotenuse is the direct distance from the nest to the flower. The hypotenuse is 5 meters, and the height of the nest is 3 meters. If the distance from the flower to the base of the tree is X, then 3^2 + x^2 = 5^2. So, x = 4.

Kim is a medical supplies salesperson. Each month she receives a 5% commission on all her sales of medical supplies up to $20,00
lions [1.4K]

Answer: her sales for the month of May is $55000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her total sales for the month of May.

Each month she receives a 5% commission on all her sales of medical supplies up to $20,000. This means that for her first sales worth $20000, she earns a commission of

5/100 × 20000 = 1000

She also earns 8.5% on her total sales over $20,000. This means that for sales over $20000, she earns

8.5/100(x - 20000) = 0.085x - 1700

Her total commission for May was $3,975. The expression becomes

1000 + 0.085x - 1700 = 3975

0.085x = 3975 + 1700 - 1000

0.085x = 4675

x = 4675/0.085

x = 55000

Russell and Aaron can build a shed in 8 hours when working together. Aaron works three times as fast as Russel. How long would i
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

32 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the time taken by Russell and Aaron to build the shed.

We have been given that Russell and Aaron can build a shed in 8 hours when working together. Aaron works three times as fast as Russel.

Russell's work rate would be \frac{1}{x}.

Since Aaron works three times as fast as Russel, so Aaron's work rate would be \frac{3}{x}.

Part of work done by in one hour would be \frac{1}{8}.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{3}{x}=\frac{1}{8}

Let us solve for x.

\frac{1}{x}*8x+\frac{3}{x}*8x=\frac{1}{8}*8x

8+3*8=x

8+24=x

32=x

Therefore, it will take Russell 32 hours to build the shed working alone.
