What is the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ugo [173]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The height of the tree is approximately 21.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We list out the question parameters first as follows;

The distance from the base of the tree where the angle of elevation is measured, d = 10 feet

The angle of elevation to the top of the tree from 10 feet from the base, θ = 65°

Let 'h' represent the height of the tree, then we have;

The line formed by the angle 65° angle, the height of the tree, 'h', and the distance 'd', form a right triangle with 'h' being the opposite leg to the given reference angle, 65°, and 'd' being the adjacent leg

By trigonometric ratio, we have;

tan(\theta) = \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Adjacent\ leg \ length} = \dfrac{h}{d}

∴ h = d × tan(θ)

Plugging in the given values, we get;

h = 10 feet × tan(65°) = 21 feet 5\frac{11}{32} inches

∴  By rounding to the nearest tenth of a foot, the height of the tree, h ≈ 21.4 feet.

Help me please it just hard for a newbie like me
Makovka662 [10]
Hello there,
Part 1:
Perimeter of Red = 11+11+11+11 
                            = 44
Perimeter of Blue= 6+6+6+6
                            = 24
Ratio: Red : Blue
             44 : 24(divide by 4) 
              11 : 6
Part 2:
Area of Red= 11 x 11
                   = 121
Area of Blue= 6 x 6
                   = 36
Ratio: Red : Blue
             121: 36
             
Hope this helps :))

Find the difference when the polynomial -5x^2+3x+8 is subtracted from the polynomial 2x^2+4x+1.
geniusboy [140]

The difference is 7x^{2}  + 1x-7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The polynomial -5x^{2}+3x+8 is subtracted from the polynomial 2x^{2} + 4x +1.

If we write this as an equation, we get

(2x^{2} + 4x +1) -(-5x^{2}+3x+8).

To subtract the polynomials, we group up the terms based on their variables.

In this subtraction, there are two variables i.e. x^{2} and x and there is one constant term.

Step 2:

The subtraction of the x^{2} variables; 2x^{2}  -(-5x^{2} )  = 2x^{2} +5x^{2} = 7x^{2}.

The subtraction of the x variables; 4x - (3x) = 1x.

The subtraction of the constants; 1-(8) = -7.

So (2x^{2} + 4x +1) -(-5x^{2}+3x+8) = 7x^{2}  + 1x-7.

Work out the gradient of the line joining the points (2, 3) and (5,7)
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The gradient of the line joining the points P(x,y) = (2,3) and Q(x,y) = (5,7) is \frac{4}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the line joining two distinct point on a plane is represented by the slope of a secant line (m_{PQ}), that is:

m_{PQ} = \frac{y_{Q}-y_{P}}{x_{Q}-x_{P}} (1)

If we know that P(x,y) = (2,3) and Q(x,y) = (5,7), then the gradient of the line is:

m_{PQ} = \frac{7-3}{5-2}

m_{PQ} = \frac{4}{3}

The gradient of the line joining the points P(x,y) = (2,3) and Q(x,y) = (5,7) is \frac{4}{3}.
