Answer:

15foot

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up will give a right angled triangle.

The length of the shadow will be the hypotenuse = 16foot

The height of the tree will be the opposite = x

The angle of elevation = 70°

Using the SOH CAH TOA trig identity

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 70 = x/16

x=16sin70

x = 15.04feet

Hence the height of the tree to the nearest whole foot is 15foot

-Dominant- [34]

(3x/6) + 2 = 8

=> 3x/6 = 8 - 2

=> 3x/6 = 6

=> 3x = 6 × 6

=> 3x = 36

=> x = 36/3

=> x = 12

Mrs. Smith needed to split 28 students into 4 equal groups for the race. Which step could help her to work 30 divided by 3?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Procedure in option C only works.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to select the process in which Mrs. Smith can help her to work 30 divided by 3.

(A) (27 divided by 9) + (9 divided by 3) = 3 + 3 = 6  

But (30 ÷ 3) = 10 ≠ 6

(B) (24 divided by 4) + (4 divided by 4) = 6 + 1 = 7 ≠ 10

(C) (21 divided by 3) + (9 divided by 3) = 7 + 3 = 10

(D) (20 divided by 4) + (10 divided by 4) = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 ≠ 10

So, procedure in option C only works. (Answer)

Again, we can prove the procedure in the following way:

\frac{30}{3} = \frac{21 + 9}{3} = \frac{21}{3} + \frac{9}{3}
