Answer:

The height of the taller tree is 7.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

The height of the shorter tree is x.

The height of the taller tree is y.

The height of shorter tree is 3/5 of the height of the taller tree.

This means that x = \frac{3y}{5}

If the height of the shorter tree is 4 1/2 feet tall, what is the height, in feet, of the taller tree? ​

This means that x = 4 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{8+1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}

We want to find y.

x = \frac{3y}{5}

\frac{9}{2} = \frac{3y}{5}

6y = 45

y = \frac{45}{6}

y = 7.5

The height of the taller tree is 7.5 feet.

An artist used silver wire to make a square that has a perimeter of 40 inches. She then used copper wire to make the largest cir
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The artist used 8.6\ in more of silver wire

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

we know that

The Perimeter of the square is equal to

P=4a

where

a is the length side of the square

P=40\ in

so

40=4a

a=10\ in

so

Each side of the square has a length of 10 in

step 2

Find the circumference of the circle

The diameter of the circle is equal to the length of the side of  the square

The circumference is equal to

C=\pi D

we have

D=10\ in

substitute

C=(3.14)(10)=31.4\ in

step 3

Find the difference

40\ in-31.4\ in=8.6\ in

Find the mean absolute deviation of the set of data 3,8,10,12,15
klio [65]
3 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 15 = 48

48 / 5 = 9.6 or 10

3 - 7
8 - 2
10 - 0
12 - 2
15 - 5

7 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 16

16 / 5 = 3.2 or 3

The Mean Absolute Deviation is approximately 3

Mr. Goldstein is 4 times as old as his daughter Anna. In 4 years, he will be 3 times as old as Anna. How old is Anna now?
trasher [3.6K]

Lets Anna's age = A

Mr. Goldstein age = G

Mr. Goldstein is 4 times as old as his daughter Anna.

So G= 4A

In 4 years, he will be 3 times as old as Anna

we add 4 with Both their ages

G + 4  = three times of A + 4

G + 4= 3(A + 4)

We know G= 4A, replace it in above equation

4A + 4= 3(A + 4)

4A + 4= 3A + 12

Subtract 3A from both sides

A + 4 = 12

Subtract 4 from both sides

A = 8

So Anna's age = 8 years
