Answer:

c. 47.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw a right triangle to represent the problem, the catheti are the vertical distance from the bird's eyes to the field mouse and the separation from the field mouse to the base of the tree. The  50° of depression is measured from the horizontal in clockwise, the angle that summed with the 50° of the depression can be called α. Then:

 α+50=90

 α=90-50=40°

The trigonometric function than relates te two catheti with the angle α is:

tan(α)=opposite/adjacent

tan40=40/x

x=40/tan40=40/0.8390=47.7m

What is the solution to the equation 3.6m − 2.7 = −1.8m?
Finger [1]

Answer:

Option B is correct

m = 0.5 is the solution to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

3.6m-2.7= -1.8m

Add 2.7 to both sides, we have;

3.6m-2.7+2.7= -1.8m+2.7

Simplify:

3.6m = -1.8m+2.7

Add 1.8 m to both sides we have;

5.4m =2.7

Divide both sides by 5.4 we have;

m = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5

⇒m = 0.5

Therefore, the solution for the given equation is, 0.5

Sandy is upgrading her Internet service. Fast Internet charges $40 for installation and $52.45 per month.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

After 8 months of internet use both the connection will cost the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fast Internet charges $40 for installation and $52.45 per month.

So, the total cost after using x months of the internet in Fast Internet will be  

C = 40 + 52.45x

Quick Internet has free installation but charges $57.45 per month.

So, the total cost after using x months of the internet in Quick Internet will be

C = 57.45x

Now, if those two cost are same then

40 + 52.45x = 57.45x

⇒ 5x = 40

⇒ x = 8

Therefore, after 8 months of internet use both the connection will cost the same. (Answer)

A cubical box without a top is 4 cm on each edge.it contains 64 identical 1cm cubes that exactly fill the box. How many of these
Len [333]

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

A cubical box without a top is 4 cm on each edge containing 64 identical 1 cm cubes.

We have to find the number of small cubes that actually touch the box.

Now, there are 4 layers of 16 cubes from bottom to top.

In the bottom-most layer, all the 16 small cubes will touch the bottom of the large cube.

Again, from the top three layers, only the outer small cubes will touch the sides of the large cube.

So, there are 12 small cubes in each top three layers that will touch the large cube.

Hence, in total there will be (16 + 12 ×3) = 52 small cubes that actually touch the large cube box. (Answer)
