Answer:

93 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this above question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

Opposite = Height of the tree = ?? = x

Adjacent = Distance from the base of the tree = 78m

θ = 50°

Hence:

tan 50 = x/78

Cross Multiply

x = tan 50 × 78

x = 92.956780222m

Approximately = 93 m

Therefore, the tree is 93 meters tall

Since it has to do with probability I would say that the probability that she would pick a specific card would be 1:52 but for two would be 2:52 which would simplify to her chances being 1 out of 26 but I could be wrong.

Answer:

x ≈ 6.71

Step-by-step explanation:

a²+b²=c²

a=3, b=6, c=x

3²+6²=c²

9+36=c²

45=c²

c=√45

c≈6.71

Firdavs [7]
F(x) = -x^2 + 6x + 6

where f(x) represents the height, in feet, of the water from the fountain at different times x, in seconds

rate of change of a distance is speed
at x=5, distance = 11
at x=2, distance = 14
so average rate of change = (14-11)/(5-2) = 1
so ans is D
