A small tree is beginning to lean. The owner decides to set up a tension wire to straighten the tree’s growth. The owner chooses

a wire which is 5 m in length to straighten the tree. The tree is 4 m high. How far must the owner secure the bottom of the wire from the base of the tree (assuming he attaches the tension wire to the top of the tree)?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle trig problem. The height of the tree is the height of the triangle, and the length of the wire is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using Pythagorean's Theorem, we can find the length of the base, which is how far he must secure the bottom of the wire from the base of the tree.

5^2=4^2+x^2 and

25=16+x^2 and

9=x^2 so

x = 3 m

Solve 6.1−0.3≥c+1. <br> please help me
horsena [70]

Answer:

c≤  24/25

​

Step-by-step explanation:

"0.3" was replaced by "(3/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s). Simplify 3/10

    61     3      

 (—— -  ——) -  (c + 1)  ≥ 0    then simplify 61/10

  10    10    

3.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

    61 - (3)                   29

————————  =  ——

     10                          5

29    

 —— -  (c + 1)  ≥ 0  

 5    

4.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

            c + 1     (c + 1) • 5

   c + 1 =  —————  =  ———————————

              1            5      

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

                         c + 1     (c + 1) • 5

   c + 1 =  —————  =  ———————————

                             1            5    

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

                              29 - ((c+1) • 5)     24 - 5c

————————————————  =  ———————

                                          5                5

    24 - 5c

 ———————  ≥ 0  

      5    

 

Multiply both sides by  5  

5.2    Multiply both sides by (-1)

Flip the inequality sign since you are multiplying by a negative number

     5c-24  ≤ 0

5.3    Divide both sides by  5  

     c-(24/5)  ≤ 0

5.4      Add  24/5  to both sides

            c ≤ 24/5
