Answer:

7.4 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from bottom of ladder to side of the house = d

θ = 62 ; height, h = 14

Using trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Opposite = height ; adjacent = d

Tan 62° = 14 / d

1.8807264 * h = 14

d = 14 / 1.8807264

d = 7.44

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

first, there are three 5's on the spinner, with a total of 12 sections. 3/12 = 0.25, so you multiply 0.25 times 300 (the total spins) and get 75

Tim is investigating the relationship between the number of years since a tree was planted and the height of the tree in feet. H
wolverine [178]

Answer: There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.

Step-by-step explanation:

Years since tree was planted (x) - - - - height (y)

2 - - - - 17

3 - - - - 25

5 - - - 42

6 - - - - 47

7 - - - 54

9 - - - 69

Using a regression calculator :

The height of tree can be modeled by the equation : ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08

With y being the predicted variable; 7.36 being the slope and 3.08 as the intercept.

X is the independent variable which is used in calculating the value of y.

Predicted height when years since tree was planted(x) = 100

ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08

ŷ = 7.36(100) + 3.08

y = 736 + 3.08

y = 739.08

Forward prediction of 100 years produced by the trendline would probably give an invalid value because the trendline only models a range of 9 years prediction. However, a linear regression equation isn't the best for making prediction that far in into the future.
