Answer:

The height of the tree would be 30 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the smaller triangle would be 6/12 and the bigger triangle would be x/60. When you cross multiply these you find that x is 30.

Suppose a railroad rail is 5 kilometers and it expands on a hot day by 20 centimeters in length. How many meters would the cente

lesya692 [45]

The length of the railroad is 1km and it expands 10cm. To solve this problem, you have to create a right triangle. You can do this by cutting everything in half. Your hypotenuse will be 1/2km + 5cm, one of the legs will be 1/2km. To make everything simple, I converted everything into meters. So you will have 500m + .05m as the hypotenuse and 500m as one of the legs. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the other leg. Do not round your answer. My teacher emailed me a hint to answering the question. She cahnged everything to meters.

use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the other leg. that is your answer. Your teacher spelled it out for you.

Jack picked 76 apples. Of these, he sold 4y apples to Juanita and 3t apples to Sylvia. If he kept the remaining apples, how many

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Number of apples remaining with him will be 2 when we combined both the conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of apples Jack Picked =76

Number of apples sold to Juanita = 4y

Number of apples sold to Sylvia = 3t

We need to find the Number of apples remaining with him.

Solution:

To find the Number of apples remaining with him we will Subtract Number of apples sold to Juanita and Number of apples sold to Sylvia from Number of apples Jack Picked.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of apples remaining with him = $76-4y-3t$

Now Given:

Condition 1 : y ≥ 15 and t = 2

So we can assume y =16 and t =2

Number of apples remaining with him = $76-4\times16-3\times2 = 76 -64 -6 = 6$

Also we can say that y =17 and t =2

Number of apples remaining with him = $76-4\times17-3\times2 = 76 -68 -6 = 2$

So the Given data is Insufficient to find the Number of apples remaining with him.

Condition 2 : y = 17

Number of apples remaining with him = $76-4\times17-3t = 76 -68 -3t = 8-3t$

Since value of t is not given we can say that;

Given data is insufficient to find the number of apples remaining with him.

Condition 3 : Combined i.e y = 17 and y≥ 15 t = 2

Number of apples remaining with him = $76-4\times17-3\times2 = 76 -68 -6 = 2$

Hence we can say that Number of apples remaining with him will be 2 when we combined both the conditions.

State if each triangle is a right triangle: * 13 in 2 in 12 in

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

It would be a obtuse triangle instead

Step-by-step explanation:

By using pythagorean and theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

So it would be 13^2___2^2 + 12^2

When you square them, you get 169___4 + 144

144 + 4 = 148, which is less than 169

SO it would be 169>148

So no, not a right triangle
