Answer: 24.99 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can find the angle A as following:

A=arctan(\frac{5}{8})\\A=32\°

2. Now, you can calculate the height of the tree as following:

tan(A)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Where:

A=32°

opposite=x

adjacent=40

3. When you substitute values and solve for x, you obtain that the height of the tree in feet is:

tan(A)=\frac{x}{40}\\x=40*tan(32\°)\\x=24.99

Does the graph represent a function? Please help. Look at photo
mixer [17]

Answer:

A function is defined as an operation on a number, which gives only one output for every input

while graphing a function, the x-ordinate denotes the input and the y-ordinate denotes the output of the function

Now, lets look at the graph

for the input value '4' , we notice that there are 2 possible outputs. The output can be either 2.5 or -2.5

Since there are multiple outputs for almost every input, this graph cannot denote a function since a function gives only one output

If you are framing a photo that is 4in by 7 in, and you want the frame to be the same width all around, and the total area of th
aliina [53]

Answer:

<em>3.36in</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of the cardboard is expressed as;

TSA = 2(LW + LH + WH)

L is the length = 4in

W is the width

H is the height = 7in

TSA = 130in²

Substitute the given values into the formula and get the width W

TSA = 2(LW + LH + WH)

130 = 2(4W+4(7) + 7W)

130 = 2(11W+28)

130 = 22W+56

22W = 130 - 56

22S = 74

W = 74/22

<em>W = 3.36in</em>

<em>hence the width of the photo is 3.36in</em>
