Answer:

19. 5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow of tree = 26 feets

Height of flower = 3 feets

Shadow of flower = 4 feets

Height of sun Innthe sky:

Shadow of flower / height of flower

= 4/3 = 1.333333

Height of tree:

Shadow of tree / height of sun

26 feets / 1.33333

= 19.5 feets

Hence, height of tree = 19.5 feets

A lumber company needs to estimate the volume of wood a load of timber will produce. The supervisor knows that the volume of woo
Hitman42 [59]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume be represented by 'V'

Since it is given that Volume varies with height 'h' and square of the girth 'g' we can write

V=khg^2 where 'k' is a constant of proportionality

Now it is given that volume is 288 cubic meters for  h= 40 meters and g =1.5 meters we can write

288=k\times 40\times 1.5^2\\\\\therefore k=\frac{288}{40\times 1.5^{2}}=3.2

Thus the volume of the timber as a relation is

V=3.2\times hg^{2}

Part b)

Volume of 50 trees with height 75 meters and girth 2 meters is

V=50\times 3.2\times 75\times 2^{2}\\\\\therefore V=48000m^{3}

A parabola is graphed such that the axis of symmetry is x = 3. One of the x-intercepts is (5, 0). What is the other x-intercept?
Stells [14]

The axis of symmetry is the fold line that splits the parabola down the middle.

Now, since a parabola is symmetrical, every point, except the vertex, will have a mirror image of another point if we folded the parabola over the axis of symmetry.

So if we know the axis of symmetry is x = 3 and one of our points

has the coordinates (5, 0), the other point will have the coordinates (3, 0).

The axis of symmetry is always halfway between the x-intercepts.

Math Plz Help. <br><br>Please graph with two points! <br>explain how you found your answer
Softa [21]
X intercept: y = 0
y= -3/4x -4
0 = -3/4 x - 4
4= -3/4 x
4 • -4/3 = x
-5.3 = x
y intercept: x = 0
y = -3/4 x -4
y = -3/4 (0) -4
y = -4
the points are (-5.3, 0) and (0, -4)
