John's method to determine the width of the stream uses the knowledge

that the tangent of 60° is approximately 1.7.

The proper sequence John would use to find the width of the stream are;

  • Step 1; <u>John</u><u> drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points</u>

  • Step 2; <u>John uses a </u><u>compass </u><u>to walk away from the stakes at a right angle</u>

  • Step 3; <u>On the path John walks until he finds a </u><u>line </u><u>of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees</u>

  • Step 4; <u>John drives a second </u><u>stake </u><u>in the ground</u>

  • Step 5; <u>John measures the the </u><u>distance </u><u>between the two stakes</u>

  • Step 6; <u>John </u><u>multiplies </u><u>the distance between the two stakes by</u><u> 1.7</u><u> to find the distance</u>.

Reasons:

The steps that can be used to measure the width of the stream are;

Step 1: Drive a stake opposite the tree on the other side of the stream.

Step 2: With the aid of a compass, walk at right angles to the line formed by the stake and the tree.

Step 3; Keep walking along the previous path till a point is reached where the angle formed between the line of site to the tree and the walk path is 60°.

Step 4; At the point where the line of sight to the tree is 60°, a second stake is driven in the ground.

Step 5; Measure the distance between the stakes that are placed in the ground.

Step 6; Given that by trigonometry, the ratio of the width of the stream to the distance between the two stakes is tan(60°) ≈ 1.7, multiply the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the width of the stream.

\displaystyle tan(60^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Width \ of \ stream}{Distance \ between \ stakes}}

<em>The possible question options are;</em>

<em>John measures the the distance between the two stakes</em>

<em>John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle</em>

<em>John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance</em>

<em>John drives a second stake in the ground</em>

<em>On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees </em>

<em>John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points.</em>

Does this table represent a function? Why or why not?
SIZIF [17.4K]

The answer is A; every x-value must correspond to ONE y-value only. y-values can correspond with as many x-values as they want, but if you see an x-value corresponding with more than one y-value, that's not a function.

The Potter Valley basketball team did not record how many baskets each player made during the last game. Jenny remembers that sh
lesya692 [45]

Answer:  The approximate values that every player make are,

Tammy = grace = 5.43 baskets

Jenny = 16.30 Baskets

Alex = 11.43 Baskets

Joan = 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Grace made x baskets.

Then According to the question,

Jenny made baskets = 3x

Alexis made basket = x + 6

Joan made basket = x - 4

Tammy made baskets = x

Since,  Altogether the five players made 40 baskets.

⇒ x+ 3x + x + 6 + x - 4 + x = 40

⇒ 7x + 2 = 40

⇒ 7x = 38

⇒ x = 38 / 7 = 5.42857142857 ≈ 5.43

Thus, Grace made baskets= Tammy made baskets = x = 5.43

Jenny made baskets = 3 × x = 16.2857142857 ≈ 16.30

Alexis made basket = x + 6 = 11.4285714286  ≈ 11.43

Joan made basket = x - 4 = 1.42857142857

≈ 1.43
