Answer:

16.6 feets .

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of wire = 30 feets

Distance between base of tree and ground = 25 feets

Height of tree, h

Using Pythagoras rule :

h² = 30² - 25²

h² = 900 - 625

h² = 275

h = sqrt(275)

h = 16.583

h = 16.6 feets

Height of tree is 16.6 feets

The height of a rectangular prism is 3 feet. The length and width can be expressed as x-1 and x+4. If the volume of the prism is
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume  = 198 ft

length * width * height = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4) * 3 = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4)  = 198/3

(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 66

x*x + x*4 -1*x - 1*4 = 66   {Use FOIL method to multiply}

x² + 4x - x - 4 = 66

x² + 3x - 4 =66

x² + 3x - 4 - 66 = 0

x² + 3x - 70 = 0

Now factorize.

x² + 10x - 7x - 7*10 = 0

x(x +10) - 7(x + 10 ) = 0

(x + 10)(x - 7) = 0

x - 7 = 0 {x + 10 is ignored because measurement cannot be in negative}

x = 7

length = x - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6ft

Width = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 ft

Select all that apply.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

1/3 , 4/15 , 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug the fractions in your calculator and you see that 1/3, 4/15, and 5/6 are repeating, but the others stop after only a couple of decimal places.

Hope this helps!

The perimeter of a rectangular garden used 86 feet of barbed wire. The length of the garden is 7 feet more than its width. Find
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle  = twice the length  plus  twice the width

P = 2L + 2W    equation 1      P = 86 ft

Given the length is seven feet more than the width

L = W + 7         equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = 2(W+7) + 2W    =  86 ft

     2W +14 + 2W    =  86 ft

     4W    =  86  - 14

        W   =  72 / 4

        W   =  18 feet

HELP DUE IN 10 MINUTES!! WILL GIVE BRAINLEST IF CORRECT!!!!
Harman [31]

Answer:

<u>Given equation:</u>

  • y = 10x - 32

<u>To find the y-intercept, evaluate the equation with x = 0:</u>

  • y = 10*0 - 32
  • y = 0 - 32
  • y = -32

<u>To find the x-intercept, evaluate the equation with y = 0:</u>

  • 0 = 10x - 32
  • 10x = 32
  • x = 32/10
  • x = 3.2
