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

Reggie, Alvin, and Jose are member of a relay running team. Reggie finished his leg of the race 2.45 seconds faster than Alvin a
lorasvet [3.4K]
From the given, we expressed the time that each of the team members ran in mathematical expression.
 
                Reggie = 57.12 seconds
                 Alvin = 57.12 + 2.45 seconds = 59.57 seconds
                 Jose = 57.12 - 3.81 seconds = 53.31 seconds
We then sum up all the time we calculate to determine the total time for the team. The answer is therefore 170 seconds.

A satellite is composed of 30 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

Step-by-step explanation:

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors

number of non-upgraded sensors for each module (nus)

total number of upgraded sensors on the satellite (tus)

satellite is composed of 30 modular units

total number of non-upgraded sensors on the satellite (tnus):

tnus=30*nus

total number of sensors on the satellite (ts):

ts=tnus+tus = 30*nus + tus (I)

The number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite

nus=(1/5)*tus

tus = 5 * nus (II)

Fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded (FU):

FU = tus/ts

Using I and II

FU= (5* nus)/(30*nus + tus)

FU = (5* nus)/(30*nus + 5 * nus)

FU = (5* nus)/(35*nus)

FU = 1/7

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded
