Answer:
The minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5 feet high is 4.435 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the lowest angle of elevation of the sun given as 27.5° and the height of the fence is 5 feet.
We will then find the position to place the plant where the suns rays can get to the base of the plant
Note that the fence is in between the sun and the plant, therefore we have
Height of fence = 5 ft.
Angle of location x from the fence = lowest angle of elevation of the sun, θ
This forms a right angled triangle with the fence as the height and the location of the plant as the base
Therefore, the length of the base is given as
Height × cos θ
= 5 ft × cos 27.5° = 4.435 ft
The plant should be placed at a location x = 4.435 ft from the fence.
The answer to the equation is 8
Answer:
1. 95/96
2. 27/7
3. -8/245
Explanation:
1. First add together the two fractions 3/4 + 5/6. Find the least common denominator. In this case we can use 12. The 3/4 changes to 9/12 and the 5/6 changes to 10/12. adding these together we get 19/12. Next we divide 8/5 by 19/12. We use the keep, change, flip method to change the divide to multiply. keep the first fraction, change divide into multiply, and then take the reciprocal of the second fraction. You will now do 5/8 x 19/12. We now get 95/96 (I made a mistake in the answers the first time because I was rushing)
2. Divide the 3/2 and the 8/9 first. I will use the KCF (keep, change, flip) method to divide. 3/2 x 9/8 = 27/16 Now we divide the 7/16. After using KCF we can simplify and cross cancel (simplfy after changing the fraction and signs) 27/16 x 16/7 --> 27/1 x 1/7 The answer will come out to be 27/7
3. since there are no parentheses divide first. Use KCF and after you get the answer multiply (it is the same using negative numbers just watch out for signs)
3562 is greater than 979, 3562>979 Because 3562 is bigger than 979. (Did this help?)
Area= a*height
the formula for an isosceles trapezoid is 1/2(base1+base2)*height. 1/2 base 2 and 2a will simplify to a base length of a. a times height or a*height
