Let be the amount (gal) of the 40% slime solution you end up using. You want to end up with 120 gal of the 50% solution, so that you would use
gal of the 70% solution.
You want the final solution to consist of 50% slime, or 60 gal of slime. Each gal of the 40% solution contributes 0.4 gal of slime, while each gal of the 70% solution contributes 0.7 gal of slime. This means
so the answer is B.
Applying the trigonometry ratio, TOA, the measurement that is closest to the height of the tree in feet is: D. 21
Recall:
Trigonometry ratios can be applied to solve any right triangle for missing side lengths or angles. They are denoted with the acronym, SOH CAH TOA.
Using trigonometry ratio, TOA, find the length of the side of the tree in the bigger triangle as follows:
tan 60 = x/9
x = tan 60 × 9
x = 15.6 ft
Height of the tree = 15.6 + 5.2 = 20.8 ft.
