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.

Help I am confused this does not come back to me when ever I look in my book.
KIM [24]

We know that point M is a midpoint of segment RS, and line l passes through segment RS. Since l passes through RS at its midpoint, M, then we can declare that l is the bisector of RS. Your best answer is A since the above is the basic definition of a bisector.

You cut square corners from a piece of cardboard that has dimensions 32 cm by 40 cm. You then fold the cardboard to create a box
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

h = 6 cm  

l = (32-2(6)) =  20 cm

w = (40-2(6)) = 28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question a piece of cardboard having dimensions 32 by 40

Suppose we cut square of length x

When you cut square corners from a piece of cardboard, two sides are 32-2x, and other two sides are 40-2x lengths

<h3>Step 1</h3>

Formula for the volume of box

v = height * length  * width

v = x  (32-2x)  (40-2x)

v = 4x³ - 144x² + 1280x

<h3>Step 2</h3>

Find derivative and equal it to 0

dv/dx = 4(3)x² - (2)144x + 1280

      0 = 12x² - 288x + 1280

x1 = 18.110

x2 =5.88

<h3>Step 3</h3>

Select x and plug value of x to find dimension

(32-2x) > 0

2x < 32

 x < 16

so domain say that x should be less than 16 which means x = 5.88 ≈ 6 cm

h = 6 cm  

l = (32-2(6)) =  20 cm

w = (40-2(6)) = 28 cm

Which of the following represents “6 less
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

C) 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be represented by placeholder x.

Then the product of 3 and the number is represented by 3*x or 3x.

This value diminished by 6 corresponds to 3x-6.

So the expression representing the required overall construct mathematically is given by 3x-6

Option a, 6x-3 represents the difference of 6 times x and 3.

Option b, 3-6x represents the difference of 3 and (6 times x).

Option d, 6-3x represents the difference of 6 and (3 times x).
