Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The engineer can use a clinometer to measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tree. Let the height of the tree be represented by x, the she could determine the distance across the river, d, by applying the trigonometric function.

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

           = \frac{x}{d}

the the distance, d = x ÷ Tan θ

Assume the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is 30^{o}, and the height of the tree is 10 m, then the distance, d, across the river would be;

d = \frac{10}{0.5774}

  = 17.3190

d = 17.32 m

The sketch to the explanation is attached to this answer for more clarification.

1. 48 c = __qt
Scorpion4ik [409]
Number 1:
We know that 1 quart = 4 cups. That means we need to divide 48 by 4.
What is 48 / 4=12
Number 1 is D
Number 2
We know that oz =0.0625 pounds
Well we multiply 0.0625 by 92 and get 6
Number 2 is B
Number 3
We know that 1 yd = 3 ft
We have to multiply. 3*6=18 But we have to add that one 18+1=19
Number 3 is C
Number 4
We know that 6 pounds = 96 oz from earlier and half of a pound is 8  so that means we do 96+8=104
Number 4 is A

 Hope this really helped!

Look at this graph:
Alina [70]

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Two points on this graph are (40, 80) and (70, 90). These points can be used to find the slope.
  • The formula for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
  • Plugging our numbers into the formula:
  • (80-90)/(40-70) = (-10)/(-30) = 1/3

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Square

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE FIQURE OF THE QUESTION

✓We were given the dimension of the rectangular prism as 10cm × 4cm × 4cm,

✓The cross section of the paperweight can be cut into half to it's base. Then the new dimension will be 4cm × 4cm which is a quadrilateral.

✓ Then width= 4cm, and height=4 cm are of the same values, hence the shape it forms is a SQUARE. and also the their angles is 90° each.
