Answer:
<h2>[a]=x²_6x</h2><h2>[b]=4x²+x</h2><h2>[c]=10x²+8x</h2><h2>[d]15x²_3xy</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are 21° 19' and 16°20'.
1) Convert the angles to decimal form:
19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°
20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°
2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.
You can form a triangle with
- horizontal leg x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)
You can form a second triangle with:
- horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x => h = x * tan(21.32)
Now equal the two expressions for h:
(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet
=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.
Answer: 76.39 feet
Answer:
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)There are 15 pieces of cakes left
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total cakes=x
Let number of cakes eaten by Mindy=m
Let number of cakes eaten by Troy=t
Now:
m=3
Since m+t=9
3+t=9
t=9-3=6
The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)
Since Troy had 
of the total cake
x=6X4=24
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)=24-9=15 cakes
