Raising a whole number to a power means: 

             Take (a number of things) a number of times, and then possibly
             take that big number of things a number of times again.

Raising a fraction to an exponent means: 

             Take a piece of (a piece of one thing), and then possibly
              take just a piece of that smaller piece.

Answer this: Solve for X
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+9 is a right angle because 3x+9 + a right angle make a straight line

3x+9 +90 = 180

Subtract 90 from each side

3x+9 = 90

We now can solve for x

3x+9-9 = 90-9

3x = 81

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 81/3

x=27

A ladder is placed 10 feet away from a tree. The length of the ladder is 25 feet. Find the height of the tree?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

23ft approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Distance from tree= 10ft

Length of ladder= 25ft

We can find the height of the tree by applying the Pythagoras theorem

z^2= x^2+y^2

z= The height of the ladder

x= The distance from the tree

y= The height of the tree

25^2= 10^2+ y^2

625=100+y^2

625-100=y^2

525=y^2

y= √525

y= 22.91

Hence the height of the tree is 23ft approx
