Answer:

The height of the tree=8.42 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of Joshua, h=1.45 m

Length of tree's shadow, L=31.65 m

Distance between tree and Joshua=26.2 m

We have to find the height of the tree.

BC=26.2 m

BD=31.65m

CD=BD-BC

CD=31.65-26.2=5.45 m

EC=1.45 m

All right triangles are similar .When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

\triangle ABD\sim \triangle ECD

\frac{AB}{EC}=\frac{BD}{CD}

Substitute the values

\frac{AB}{1.45}=\frac{31.65}{5.45}

AB=\frac{31.65\times 1.45}{5.45}

AB=8.42m

Hence, the height of the tree=8.42 m

What is the value of the discriminant?<br> 2K2 = 10k - 2
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form, ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

Then the discriminant is Δ = b² - 4ac

2k² = 10k - 2 ( subtract 10k - 2 from both sides )

2k² - 10k + 2 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 2, b = - 10 and c = 2, thus

b² - 4ac = (- 10)² - (4 × 2 × 2) = 100 - 16 = 84
