Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of high school students who drink and drive at the beginning of 2001   =   17.5%

The percentage of high school students who drink and drive at the beginning of 20011   =   10.3%

Rate of decrease = 17.5 - 10.3 / 10

= .72

The required linear function

f(t) =  - 0.72 x t + 17.5

b ) Rate of decrease in percentage = (17.5 - 10.3) / 10

= .72 %

c )  Percentage of high school students who drink and drive  at the beginning of 2014

t = 2014 - 2011 = 13

f(t) =  - 0.72 x t + 17.5

= - .72 x 13 + 17.5

= 8.14 %

We can reduce the fraction to its lowest form.

\frac{7}{35}

Dividing by common factor 10.

=\frac{1}{5}

Dividing by common factor 7

Wha is the area of this
Korvikt [17]

Octagon, stop sign.

Eight isoscles triangles.   It looks like we're told the side is 9.9 and the height to the side (also called the apothem) is 12.

So each isosceles triangle has area  (1/2)(9.9)(12) and we have eight of them,

area = 8(1/2)(9.9)(12) = 475.2

Answer: 475.2

Usually we wouldn't be told 9.9 -- this is the baby version.  We know each of those isoscles triangles has unique angle 360/8=45 degrees, so the apothem and half the side of the octagon are a right triangle with acute angle 22.5 degrees.

The area of the right triangle with long leg 12, short leg x,

tan 22.5 = x/12 or

x = 12 tan 22.5

Twice that is what we're told is 9.9; let's check:

2x = 24 tan 22.5 = 9.941125496954282

The area of the little right triangle is

(1/2) 12 × 12 tan 22.5

and there are 16 of these

16 (1/2) 12 × 12 tan 22.5 ≈ 477.174

A tree casts shadow 26 ft long. A 3 ft tall flowers casts a shadow 4 ft long. How tall is the tree?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

19. 5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow of tree = 26 feets

Height of flower = 3 feets

Shadow of flower = 4 feets

Height of sun Innthe sky:

Shadow of flower / height of flower

= 4/3 = 1.333333

Height of tree:

Shadow of tree / height of sun

26 feets / 1.33333

= 19.5 feets

Hence, height of tree = 19.5 feets
