<h3><u>Given :-</u></h3>

<u />

Height of the tree = 42 inches.

Height of the tree after 6 years = 15 feet 6 inches.

<u />

Number of inches the tree grew each year.

<h3><u>Solution :-</u></h3>

<u />

Height of the tree after 6 years,

→ 15 feet 6 inches = 186 inches.

→ 186 - 42 = 144 inches.

Height of the tree after 1st year = 144/6 = 64

∴ The tree grows 24 inches in each year.

A and B are two points on square ABCD with coordinates A(1,3) and B(5,3). What are the lengths of the diagonals AC and BD? Round

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

$AC = BD = 5.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (1,3)$

$B = (5,3)$

Required

The length of the diagonals

First, calculate the length of AB using:

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

So, we have:

$AB = \sqrt{(1 - 5)^2 + (3 - 3)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + 0^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{16}$

$AB = 4$

The diagonal of a square is calculated using:

$Diagonal = x\sqrt{2$

Where x is the length of each side.

So:

$AC = BD = AB\sqrt{2}$

$AC = BD = 4\sqrt{2}$

$AC = BD = 5.7$ -- approximated
