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.

$Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times Building$

$Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times 120$

$Tree=60$

Therefore correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.

NO LINKS!!!! Find the equation of the circle below

inysia [295]

Answer:

$(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$

where:

(a, b) is the center
r is the radius

From inspection of the diagram, the center of the circle appears to be at point (-3, 2), although this is not very clear. Therefore, a = -3 and b = 2.

Substitute these values into the general form of the equation of a circle:

$\implies (x-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2=r^2$

$\implies (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=r^2$

Again, from inspection of the diagram, the maximum vertical point of the circle appears to be at y = 5. Therefore, to calculate the radius, subtract the y-value of the center point from the y-value of the maximum vertical point:

⇒ radius (r) = 5 - 2 = 3

Substitute the found value of r into the equation:

$\implies (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=3^2$

Therefore, the final equation of the given circle is:

$\implies (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=9$

4 7/12 + 2 1/12 what is the estimate answer

Pani-rosa [81]

$4 \frac{7}{12} = \frac{12*4+7}{12} = \frac{55}{12} \\ \\ 2 \frac{1}{12} = \frac{2*12+1}{12} = \frac{25}{12} \\ \\ \frac{55}{12} + \frac{25}{12} = \frac{80}{12} \\ \\ \frac{80 :4}{4:4} = \frac{20}{3}$
