Answer:
a. 5 represents the number of calories that come from other ingredients.
b. Neither 8 nor 3 satisfy the given equation, so neither 8 nor 3 can be the solution to the equation.
c. <em>c = 5.5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation:
Where represents the grams of carbohydrates
27 is the total number of calories that are received by the granola bite.
4 is the number of calories from 1 gram of carbohydrates and
5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.
Answer of Part a:
5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.
Part b:
Let us take left hand side (LHS) and put values of c = 8 and 3 one by one.
So, LHS becomes:
4 \times 8 + 5 = 37
4 \times 3 + 5 = 17
So, Priya is correct that neither 8 or 3 could be solution.
Part c:
So, solution to the equation is: <em>c = 5.5</em>
Answer:
174.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)
We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...
180° -30° -112° = 38°
Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.
c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)
c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft
The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.
