A tree is broken at a height of 5 m from the ground and its top touches the ground at a distance of 12 m from the base of the tr
1 answer:
Answer:
The original height of the tree is 18 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
From the diagram, we shall determine the value of 'x'. This can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as follow:
x² = 5² + 12²
x² = 25 + 144
x² = 169
Take the square root of both side
x = √169
x = 13 m
Finally, we shall determine the original height of the tree. This can be obtained as follow.
From the question given above, the tree was broken from a height of 5 m from the ground which form a right angle triangle with x being the Hypothenus as illustrated in the diagram.
Thus, the original height of the will be the sum of 5 and x i.e
Height = 5 + x
x = 13 m
Height = 5 + 13
Height = 18 m
Therefore, the original height of the tree is 18 m.

A Coca-Cola bottle is roughly a cylinder, so you would do the formula below.
The first year, the amount is 40,000
the second year is 40000 + 4.2% of 40000, or 0.042 * 4000, so 40000+(0.042*4000)
common factoring that we get 40000(1 + 0.042), or just 40000(1.042)
in short, the starting amount is 40000, and to get the next term's value you'd use the "common ratio" of 1.042, namely the multiplier of 1.042.
for the third year it'll be 40000(1.042) + (0.042 *40000(1.042) ), again, common factoring that
40000(1.042)(1 + 0.042) or 40000(1.042)(1.042) or 40000(1.042)²
therefore,
the second year is 40000 + 4.2% of 40000, or 0.042 * 4000, so 40000+(0.042*4000)
common factoring that we get 40000(1 + 0.042), or just 40000(1.042)
in short, the starting amount is 40000, and to get the next term's value you'd use the "common ratio" of 1.042, namely the multiplier of 1.042.
for the third year it'll be 40000(1.042) + (0.042 *40000(1.042) ), again, common factoring that
40000(1.042)(1 + 0.042) or 40000(1.042)(1.042) or 40000(1.042)²
therefore,
