Answer: 61.16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think in this situation as a triangle rectangle.

where:

The height of the tree is one cathetus

The shadow of the tree is the other cathetus.

We know that the angle of elevation of the sun is 78°, an angle of elevation is measured from the ground, then the adjacent cathetus to this angle is the shadow of the tree. And the opposite cathetus will be the height of the tree.

Now we can remember the relationship:

Tg(A) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Where:

A = 78°

Adjacent cathetus = 13ft

opposite cathetus = height of the tree = H

Then we have the equation:

Tg(78°) = H/13ft

Tg(78°)*13ft = H = 61.16 ft

A county has a population density of 257 people per square mile. The county population is 4288. What is the area of this county?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The area of the country is 17 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the population density of the country. We employ the use of a mathematical formula. This can easily be obtained from the units of the density

The population density = Population of the country/area of the country

Since we are to calculate the area of the country, the equation becomes

Area of country = Population of country/population density of country

Area of country = 4288/257

Area of country = 16.68 square mile

To the nearest square mile, the Area of the country = 17 square mile

What is a relation and what makes it different from a function? How can you determine the domain and range of a function?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Note that both relations and functions have domains and ranges. The domain is the set of all first elements of ordered pairs (x-coordinates). The range is the set of all second elements of ordered pairs (y-coordinates). Only the elements "used" by the relation or function constitute the range.
