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

The inverse variation equation shows the relationship between wavelength in meters, x, and frequency, y.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

\lambda=10^{-10}\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of x-rays, f=3\times 10^{18}\ Hz

We need to find the wavelength for x-rays. The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of light is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^{8}}{3\times 10^{18}}\\\\=10^{-10}\ m

So, the wavelength for x-rays is 10^{-10}\ m.

An established company started with 147 employees. After 10 years in business, they now have 283 employees. What is the percent
xeze [42]
So, Increase = New Number - Original Number. Therefore, Increase = 283 - 147 which equals 136.
136 = 283 - 147.
Then you want to divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
136/147 = 0.92
0.92 * 100 = 92.

Final Answer: The employee count has increased by 92%. I hope this helps.
