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
1 answer:

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.

Answer:

3,406.5 litres/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The liquid is being poured at a rate of 15 gallons per minute.

1 minute = 1/60 hour

Thus, the rate can be written as:

15 gallons pet 1/60 hour

We are told that one gallon is approximately 3.785 liters.

Thus;

15 gallons = 15 × 3.785 litres = 56.775 litres.

Thus, the rate is;

56.775 litres per 1/60 hour

We want to find in litres/hr.

By proportion, we have it as;

(56.775 ÷ 1/60)/1 = 56.775 × 60 = 3,406.5 litres/hr

What is the solution to the system?<br> X+3y = 5<br> 5x-3y = 7
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x + 3y = 5

5x - 3y = 7

Add up both equations, then:

6x = 12

=> x = 2

=> y = (5 - 2)/3 = 1

One angle of an isosceles triangle measures 138°. Which other angles could be in that isosceles triangle?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

2 21 degree angles

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosoles triangle has two congruent angles and every triangle's sum of interior angles equals 180 degrees. 138*2>180, so the 138 degree angle cannot be congruent to any of the other angles. Therefore:

180=138+2x

42=2x

21 degrees=x

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>__________________________________________________________</u>

<u>FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING</u> :-

  • a^x \times a^y = a^{x+y}
  • In an equation , if the bases are same in both L.H.S. & R.H.S. then , the power of the bases on both the sides of equation should be equal. For e.g. : a^x = a^y  ⇒  x = y  [∵ Bases are equal on both the sides]

<u>__________________________________________________________</u>

4 \times 8^{2x+1} = 32^{x+2}

Lets express it in terms of 2.

=> 2^2 \times 2^{3 (2x+1)} = 2^{5(x+2)}

=> 2^2 \times 2^{6x+3} = 2^{5x+10}

=> 2^{2 + 6x+3} = 2^{5x+10}

=> 2^{6x+5} = 2^{5x+10}

Here the bases on both the sides are equal. Hence ,

=> 6x + 5 = 5x + 10

=> 6x - 5x = 10 - 5

=> x = 5
