Answer:

Distance between dock and tree is 223.6 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per question distance between dock and boat is 300 m and distance between boat and tree is 200 m.

Let the distance between dock and tree is x m.

Therefore by applying Pythagoras theorem in the triangle formed

x² = 200² + 300²

x = √(300² - 200²) = √(90000 - 40000) = √50000 = 100√5 = 100×2.23606

x = 223.6 m

Therefore answer is distance between tree and dock will be 223.6 m.

use Pythagorean Theorem to satisfy...a^2 + b^2 = c^2

200^2 + b^2 = 300^2
b^2 = 300^2 - 200^2
b^2 = 50000  (get square root of each)
b = 223.606  (rounded to the nearest tenth.... = 223.6

Find the missing angle measure.
ycow [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all inner angles in the shape should be 540°

(180° for triangles, 360° for squares and other simple 4-corner-shapes, the pattern is the number of corners minus 2 multiplied by 180°)

we can calculate

540-106-94-135=205

so we got 205 degrees for the two unclear corners and one of them has to be 5° greater.

x is 100°

x is 100°x+5 is 105°

(note that in the subtraction part we could have subtracted 5 more and would be left with 2x=200)

Mrs. Cervantes wants to paint her windmill. It has six sides, each of which is 3.5 feet wide by 11 feet tall. How many square fe
wolverine [178]

Answer:

231 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Dimension of each side = 3.5 feets by 11 feets

Area of each side :

Length * width = (3.5 * 11) feets = 38.5 ft²

Number of sides = 6

Hence, number of square feets to paint :

Number of sides * area of each side :

6 * 38.5 ft²

= 231 ft²

If you stacked Avogadro's number of pennies one on top of the other on Earth's surface, how far would the stack extend (in kilom
miskamm [114]

Answer:my

The height of the stack will be 9.15×10^20_m

Or 9.15×10^17_Km

Which is 6 billion times more more than the distance to the sun

Or 22.9 million times further than the star Proxima Centauri

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Avogadro's number = 6.02×10^23 particles

And the thickness of a penny = 1.52_mm

The height of the stack will be

1.52 × 6.02 ×10^23 = 9.15×10^23_mm 9.15×10^20_m

A. Suppose you have just inherited a sum of money. Let’s say you choose to invest the money. How much did you inherit? Choose an
leva [86]

Amount =$48003.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Here apply the compound interest formula;

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

where;

P=Principal amount invested = $37500

r=rate of interest as a decimal, 2.5% =0.025

n=number of compounding per year=1

t=time period the amount in invested=10

In our case, the amount after investing will be;

A=37,500(1+0.025)^{10} \\\\A=37,500(1.025)^{10} \\\\A=48003.20

Interest earned after the period= $48003.20-$37500 =$10503.20
