Given :

Rachel is sitting in a tree 15 feet above the ground.

A minute ago, she spotted a skunk 40 feet from the base of the tree walking closer to her. Now, the skunk is 20 feet from the base of the tree.

The diagonal line from Rachel to the skunk is the distance between them.

To Find :

How much closer is the skunk to Rachel now than it was a minute ago.

Solution :

Initial distance,

d_i=\sqrt{15^2+40^2}\\\\d_i=42.72\ feet

Final distance,

d_f=\sqrt{15^2+20^2}\\\\d_f=25\ feet

Therefore, skunk is ( 42.72 - 25 ) = 17.72  feet closer to Rachel now than it was a minute ago.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Please anwer the question
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$520.96

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a compound shape made of 1 rectangle and two semi circles which makes 1 full circle.

Area of Rectangle = L x W

Area of circle is =pi x radius squared

Area of Rectangle is 5ft x 4ft = 20 ft squared.

Area of circle is = 12.56 ft squared

- Diameter of the circle is 4ft, radius is 1/2 diameter

- Radius is 2ft, 2 x 2 = 4ft

(pi) 3.14 x 4ft = 12.56 ft squared.

As it is a compound shape you need to add

Area of Square + Area of circle =

20 ft squared + 12.56 ft squared =

Total Area of window is 32.56 ft squared

$16 = 1 square foot

$16 × 32.56 = $520.96

What ethical issues have been raised by the scientific community's commitment to ensuring that experimental treatments are not
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

They include;

1. Fewer chances of determining how effective the treatment plan would be.

2. Inability of every patient to access the experimental treatment.

3. Difficulties in making knowledgeable decisions on the treatment plan.

4. Determining that the experimental treatments are offered with the right motive.

Step-by-step explanation:

In medical treatment administration, it is standard practice that drugs undergo clinical trials on test animals before they are administered to patients. However, some sicknesses are without known drugs for treatment or may have drugs that are still undergoing experiments and trials. In such cases, patients may want to be treated with experimental drugs.

Ethical issues such as the above-listed can arise from this. The foremost of them all is the fact that the treatment might prove ineffective thus causing more problems to the patient.
