Use the information in the diagram to determine the height of the tree to the nearest foot.
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given figure it is noticed that the building is creating a right angle triangle from a point and the tree divides the hypotenuse and base in two equal part.
According to midpoint theorem of triangle: In a triangle, if a line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides, then the line is parallel to third side. The length of line segment is half of the length of third side.
Using midpoint theorem of triangle, we can say that the length of tree is half of the building.
Therefore correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: I will leave the answers as fraction and in terms of pi unless the question states rounding conditions to ensure maximum precision.
From the question, we can tell it is a inversed-cone (upside down)
Volume of Cone =
a) Given Diameter , d = 15.5cm and Length , h = 350cm,
we first find the radius.
We will now find the volume of the cone.
Volume of cone
We know the density of ice is 0.93 grams per
(Nearest Gram)
b) After 1 hour, we know that the new radius = 7.75cm - 0.35cm = 7.4cm
and the new length, h = 350cm - 15cm = 335cm
Now we will find the volume of this newly-shaped cone.
Volume of cone =
Volume of cone being melted = New Volume - Original volume
=
c) Lets take the bucket as a round cylinder.
Given radius of bucket, r = 12.5cm (Half of Diameter) and h , height = 30cm.
Volume of cylinder =
To overflow the bucket, the volume of ice melted must be more than the bucket volume.
Volume of ice melted after 5 hours =
See, from here of course you are unable to tell whether the bucket will overflow as all are in fractions, but fret not, we can just find the difference.
Volume of bucket - Volume of ice melted after 5 hours
=
from we can see the bucket can still hold more melted ice even after 5 hours therefore it will not overflow.
