A newly planted tree will be secured by wires, each attached to the ground 1.5 meters from the base of the tree. If each wire is

4 meters long, how high up the tree should each wire be attached, to the nearest tenth of a meter?

Answer:

<em>3.7m</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up will form of right angled triangle with;

the length of the wires (the hypotenuse) = 4m

The base of the tree from the wire (adjacent) = 1.5m

The height of the tree(opposite ) = x

According to pythagoras theorem;

<em>hyp² = opp²+adj²</em>

<em>4² = x²+1.5²</em>

<em>16 = x²+2.25</em>

<em>x² = 16 - 2.25</em>

<em>x² = 13.75</em>

<em>x = √13.75</em>

<em>x = 3.708</em>

<em>Hence the tree is 3.7m high (to the nearest tenth)</em>

arlik [135]
V(s) = (S)^3
6 cube shapes with sides ranging in whole numbers from 2 feet to 7 feet:
S1 = 2 feet, S2 = 3 feet, S3 = 4 feet, S4 = 5 feet, S5 = 6 feet, S6 = 7 feet
V(s)1 = (S1)^3 = (2)^3 = 8 cubic feet
V(s)2 = (S2)^3 = (3)^3 = 27 cubic feet
V(s)3 = (S3)^3 = (4)^3 = 64 cubic feet
V(s)4 = (S4)^3 = (5)^3 = 125 cubic feet
V(s)5 = (S5)^3 = (6)^3 = 216 cubic feet
V(s)6 = (S6)^3 = (7)^3 = 343 cubic feet

15. 2x+4y=5
Since you want to put it into y-intercept format (y=mx+b) first you want to minus 2x on both sides making it 4y= -2x+5, following you will divide by 4 on both sides making it y= -1/2x+ 5/4(1.25). The slope being -1/2x and the y-intercept hitting 1.25 on the y-axis.
17. 3x-3y=5. Like question 15 you will have to put it into y=mx+b format. So first you would minus 3x on both sides becoming -3y = -3x+5 then do the following: divide by -3 on both sides making the answer Y= x-5/3(-1.66666667) you can round it up to -1.67. Overall the answer should be y=x-1.67. 1.67 being the y-int meaning the line meets the y-axis at 1.67 and the slope being 1/1 to help you form the line.
