Answer:

The height of the tree is 16.67 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refering the figure, let the height be "x" feet.

It is evident that triangles ABC and triangle EDC are similar.

(as both man and tree are perpendicular to the ground)

thus, \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{DC} = \frac{AC}{EC}

hence,

\frac{x}{6} = \frac{25}{9}

Thus, x = (\frac{25}{9})(6) = \frac{50}{3} = 16.67 foot..

What two numbers multiply to -120 and add to -2
USPshnik [31]

Hello!

To answer this question we need to find the factors of -120.

The total set (both negative and postive! ) are the following:

  • 1, -120
  • 2, -60
  • 3, -40
  • 4, -30
  • 5, -24
  • 6, -20
  • 8, -15
  • 10, -12
  • 12, -10
  • 15, -8
  • 20, -6
  • 24, -5
  • 30, -4
  • 40, -3
  • 60, -2
  • 120, -1

After looking over all of these factors, we can see that 10 · -12 is equal to not only -120, but when the multiplication sign is replace by addition, it is equal to -2!

Hope this helps.

Help me please! which bisects the chord?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are given that chord AB's length is 8 and is bisected by segment XC, that means segment BC's length is 4 and ∠XCB is a right angle. From there, we use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for length XC:

4² + b² = 5² (Or remember 3-4-5 makes a Pythagorean triple)

c = √(5²-4²)

c = 3
