Answer: Height of tree = 26 ft

Make a triangle ABC with 40 degrees angle. The shadow is the base of the triangle equals 31 feet.

Base = AC = 31

Perpendicular = CB = ?

Hypotenuse = AB

Using trigonometric equation

tan 40 (deg) = CB / AC

CB = Tan 40 x AC

CB = 0.83909 x 31

CB = 26.011

Thus the height of the tree = 26 ft

The third longest side is also the second shortest side.

The 14 ft side of quadrilateral ABCD corresponds to the 6 ft side of quadrilateral EFGH.

14/6 = 18/x

7/3 = 18/x

7x = 18 * 3

7x = 54

x = 54/7

x = 7.7

practice factoring a difference of squares. which expressions represent a perfect square monomial and its square root? check all
ohaa [14]

The perfect square monomial and its square root are shown in options 1, 2, and 5.

  • A perfect square in mathematics is an expression that factors into two equally valid expressions. A monomial is a single phrase that is made up of the product of positive integer powers of the constants, variables, and constants. Consequently, a monomial that factors into two monomials that are the same is called a perfect square monomial.
  • 1) 121, 11
  • 11² = 121
  • A perfect square monomial and its square root are represented by this equation.
  • 2) 4x², 2x
  • (2x)² = 4x²
  • A perfect square monomial and its square root are represented by this equation.
  • 3) 9x²-1, 3x-1
  • (3x-1)² = 9x²- 6x +1
  • This phrase does not depict a square monomial and its square root in perfect form.
  • 4) 25x, 5x
  • (5x)² = 25x²
  • This phrase does not depict a square monomial and its square root in perfect form.
  • 5) 49(x^4), 7x²
  • (7x²)² = 49(x^4)
  • A perfect square monomial and its square root are represented by this equation.
