Answer:

23ft approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Distance from tree= 10ft

Length of ladder= 25ft

We can find the height of the tree by applying the Pythagoras theorem

z^2= x^2+y^2

z= The height of the ladder

x= The distance from the tree

y= The height of the tree

25^2= 10^2+ y^2

625=100+y^2

625-100=y^2

525=y^2

y= √525

y= 22.91

Hence the height of the tree is 23ft approx

How do you determine the area of a circle? Could you give an example please?
pickupchik [31]
To determine the area if the circle, you must know the diameter or the radius of a circle.

If you know the radius of a circle, use this as your formula. Remember: Pi (the greek symbol thingy) is equal to 3.1415. (A is equal to area of the circle and r represents the radius)
a = \pi {r}^{2}
If you know the diameter, just divide the diameter to get the radius then use the same equation.

Need help with question 5 please

Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we use

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-4-8)/( 1-3)

    = -12/-2

    =6

We want a line perpendicular, so we need the negative reciprocal

- (1/6)

-1/6
