Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
First, divide the shape into two figures ( a semicircle and a rectangle)
Then, find the are or the two shapes using the area formula for a semicircle (
) and the are formula for a rectangle (base x height)
Finally, add the two areas together and you have your answer
The equation of a circle is written as ( x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
h and k is the center point of the circle and r is the radius.
In the given equation (x+3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 81
h = -3
k = 1
r^2 = 81
Take the square root of both sides:
r = 9
The center is (-3,1) and the radius is 9
Answer: Question #1 The height of the tree is about 18 feet.
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the similar triangles that are drawn. The height of the tree matches the height of the person and the shadows match.
Therefore, we can write and solve the following equation:
x/15 = 5.5/4.5
82.5 = 4.5x
x = 18.33
