16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 16 ft because 6 ft tall over 4 feet 6 inches (4.5) is equal to x (tree's height) over 12 ft. You cross multiple and get 72 = 4.5x then you take 72 and divide by 4.5 to get the tree's height

\frac{6}{4.5}  =  \frac{x}{12}

What is the approximate surface area of a sphere with a circumference of 37.68
sergij07 [2.7K]
We must find the radius so we can plug this into the formula for surface area. 

Circumference = 2 \pi r
37.68 = 2 \pi r \\ r = 37.68/2 \pi

We are going to plug this in as our radius for the most accurate answer. 

The surface area of a sphere is 4 \pi  r^{2}

Surface Area = 4 \pi  ( \frac{37.68}{2 \pi }) ^{2} ≈ 451.93 units

Liz is hiking a trail that is 0.8 miles long. Liz hikes the first 2 tenths of the distance by herself. She hikes the of the way
antoniya [11.8K]
0.6 miles.

Since there is 0.8 miles to hike in total, she hiked 0.2 miles.

To solve, we just easily subtract the amount that Liz hiked from the amount that needs to be hiked.

She hiked 0.2 miles, which means we need to subtract 0.2 from 0.8.

8 - 2 = 6

The answer is 0.6 miles.

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and the angle opposite the side of length a is acute. What must be true?
Ket [755]
3pi/7 < pi/2 because 3/7 < 1/2, and pi/2 is a right angle. Conclusion: the angle opposite side a is an acute angle. In this situation the triangle could be a right triangle, in which case C would be true, but it does not have to be a right triangle, so don´t choose C. Similarly, it could be an acute triangle, in which case B would be true, but it does not have to be, so don´t choose B. Also, A says the angle opposite side a is obtuse, which is false. So don´t choose A. That leaves D, which says the angle opposite side a is acute, which we know is true. So the answer is <span>D. b^2 + c^2 > a^2</span>
