Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

if you draw the picture in your copybook you will see that there is a right triangle, we have the Pythagorean theorem i.e c=√a²+b²

15=√9²+x². the trees tall=X

15²=9²+x²

x²= 144

X= 12

hope you will understand

This is a right triangle equation
so a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c^2 is the hypotenuse and the 15 feet

a^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
a^2 + 81 = 225
a^2 = 144

the square root of 144 is 12

the tree is 12 feet tall

What’s the missing angle.<br><br> Brainliest if your correct
stellarik [79]

<u>We are given:</u>

We know that the sum of all interior angles of a Pentagon is 540°

we are given 4 out of the 5 angles

<u>Solving for x:</u>

since the sum of all 5 angles is 540°:

75 + 130 + 135 + x + 90 = 540

x + 430 = 540

x = 540 - 430

x = 110°

Which of the following is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 2) and is parallel to the graph of the equat
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (2, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 6 = - 4

y = 3x - 4 → B
