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>

Determine the product<br> (4.2x100). (5.7x100)
Tom [10]

Answer:

(4.2x100).(5.7x100) = 239.400

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the product of (4.2x100).(5.7x100).

We know that when two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For that reason, we can multiply all together, and the result will be the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands:

Then:

(4.2x100).(5.7x100) = 4.2x100x5.7x100 = 420x570= 239.400

Answer:

  17 ft, 27 ft, 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the length of the shortest side. The the longest side is (2s-7) and the third side is (s+3). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  64 = s +(2s -7) +(s +3)

  64 = 4s -4 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  16 = s -1 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  17 = s . . . . . . . . . add 1

  2s -7 = 2·17 -7 = 27 . . . . . the length of the longest side

  s +3 = 17 +3 = 20 . . . . . . . the length of the third side

The side lengths are 17 feet, 27 feet, and 20 feet.
