Jason places a mirror on the ground 40 feet from the base of a tree. He walks backwards until he can see the top of the tree in

the middle of the mirror. At that point, Jason's eyes are 6 feet above the ground and he is 8 feet from the image in the mirror. What is the height of the tree?

Given that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, we can state tha the angle formed by the eyes of Jason with the mirror is equal to the angle formeb by the top of the three with the same mirror.

Then, you can write this similarity equation:

[height of the eyes of Jason] / [distance from the poistion of Jason to the image on the mirror] = [height of the tree / distance from the mirror to the base of the tree]

6feet / 8feet = x/40feet

x = 40feet *[6/8] = 30 feet.

Answer: 30 feet.

Match the reasons with the statements in the proof if the last line of the proof would be 6. ∠1 and ∠7 are supplementary by defi
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Given : s||t

Exterior sides in opposite rays : ∠5 and ∠7 are supplementary

Definition of supplementary angles : m∠5 + m∠7 = 180°

If lines are ||, corresponding angles are equal : m∠1 = m∠5

Substitution : m∠1 + m∠7 = 180°

The growth of a city is described by the population functionwhereis the initial population of the city, t is the time in years,
mamaluj [8]

Complete question:

The growth of a city is described by the population function p(t) = P0e^kt where P0 is the initial population of the city, t is the time in years, and k is a constant. If the population of the city atis 19,000 and the population of the city atis 23,000, which is the nearest approximation to the population of the city at

Answer:

27,800

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to obtain the initial population(P0) and constant value (k)

Population function : p(t) = P0e^kt

At t = 0, population = 19,000

19,000 = P0e^(k*0)

19,000 = P0 * e^0

19000 = P0 * 1

19000 = P0

Hence, initial population = 19,000

At t = 3; population = 23,000

23,000 = 19000e^(k*3)

23000 = 19000 * e^3k

e^3k = 23000/ 19000

e^3k = 1.2105263

Take the ln

3k = ln(1.2105263)

k = 0.1910552 / 3

k = 0.0636850

At t = 6

p(t) = P0e^kt

p(6) = 19000 * e^(0.0636850 * 6)

P(6) = 19000 * e^0.3821104

P(6) = 19000 * 1.4653739

P(6) = 27842.104

27,800 ( nearest whole number)
