Answer:

Height of the tree is 78.11 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the tangent rule in the right triangle formed,

Since, tanθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

tan(32)° = $\frac{h}{125}$

h = 125(tan32°)

h = 125(0.62487)

h = 78.109

≈ 78.11 ft

Height of the tree will be 78.11 feet.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is simple because they use powers of 10. When something is multiplied by a power of ten, it is essentially moving the decimal point over for every power.

9.46x10^12= 9460000000000

4.0x10^13= 40000000000000

Although 4 itself is less than 9.46, since is is being multiplied by 10^13, it will be one decimal place bigger.

Find the distance traveled by a particle with position (x, y as t varies in the given time interval. x = 3?sin2 t, y = 3?cos2 t,

ANTONII [103]

Assuming the particle's position is given by

$\begin{cases}x(t)=3-\sin2t\\y(t)=3-\cos2t\\0\le t\le4\end{cases}$

then the distance traveled over the interval is

$\displaystyle\int_{t=0}^{t=4}\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dx(t)}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy(t)}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int_0^4\sqrt{(-2\cos2t)^2+(2\sin2t)^2}\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int_0^4\sqrt{4\cos^22t+4\sin^22t}\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle2\int_0^4\mathrm dt$
$=2(4-0)=8$
