Bob sees a very tall white pine tree. He estimates that the angle of elevation from him to the top of the tree is 77°

Mathematics

Answer:

  86.63 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent relation applies.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(77°) = (tree height)/(20 ft)

  tree height = (20 ft)·tan(77°) ≈ 86.63 ft

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It is somewhat problematic for Bob to see the top of a white pine tree at that angle of elevation. His view would likely be obscured by the branches of the tree.

The value of the solid's surface area is equal to the value of the solid's volume. Find the value of x. We know the length is 9
Lerok [7]

Given:

The value of the solid's surface area is equal to the value of the solid's volume.

Length(l) = 9 units

width(b) = 4 units

Height(h) = x units

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Solid's surface area is

Area=2(lb+bh+hl)

Area=2(9\times 4+4\times x+x\times 9)

Area=2(36+4x+9x)

Area=2(36+13x)

Area=72+26x

Volume of solid is

Volume=l\times b\times h

Volume=9\times 4\times x

Volume=36x

Solid's surface area = Volume of solid

72+26x=36x

72=36x-26x

72=10x

Divide both sides by 10.

7.2=x

Therefore, the value of x is 7.2.

Westkost [7]
The answer to your question is 8*5*4.
8*5=40                                                                                                                 
40*4=160                                                                                                               8 is twice of 4. the length is twice the width.

What is the standard form of the linear function that passes
babunello [35]

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4})

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2(y-1)=2\left( \cfrac{3}{2}(x-4) \right)}\implies 2y-2 = 3(x-4)\implies 2y-2=3x-12 \\\\\\ -3x+2y-2=-12\implies -3x+2y=-10\implies \stackrel{\times -1\textit{ to both sides}}{3x-2y=10}
