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

Answer:

41.29 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Area of the shaded portion = Area of the circle - area of the square.

A' = πr²-L²...… Equation 1

Where A' = Area of the shade portion, r = radius of the circle, L = length of the square, π = pie

Given: r = 4 cm, L = 3 cm

Constant: π = 22/7.

Substitute these values into equation 1

A' = [(22/7)×4²]-3²

A' = 50.29-9

A' = 41.29 cm²

Hence the area of the shaded portion is 41.29 cm²

A pizza place charges $5.00 for a cheese pizza and $1.75 for each additional topping. Which equation models the total price of a
inysia [295]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation: This is c because 1.75 t is right because they don't know how many toppings you are going to put on but they do know how much you will automatically have to pay for the pizza itself. That is why it is 1.75t(toppings) plus the 5 dollars for pizza.

Hope this helps!
