1. You have to make a system of equations.
2. The problem gives the following information:
- <span>. Emi said wow I think the top of that waterfall is about 20 ft more than three times the height of a young Redwood.
- Margaret had a different opinion she said no I think it's about 50 ft less than 4 times the height of the Redwood.
3. So, you have:
y: the height of the waterfall.
x: </span>the height of the Redwood
4. The equations are:
y=3x+20 (i)
y=4x-50 (ii)
3x+20=4x-50
x=70 ft
y=3x+20
y=230 ft
H<span>ow tall is the Redwood and how high is the waterfall?
</span>
The Redwood: 70 ft
The waterfall: 230 ft
Answer:
Line m, because if you put a mirror on m, one figure will be truly reflected in another
10 squared = 100
10*10=100
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find z:
z = √(6^2 + 9^2)
z= √(36 + 81)
z = √117
z = 3√13 = 10.8
Use leg rule to find x:
x/6 = 6/9
Cross multiply:
9x = 36
Divide both sides by 9:
x = 36/9
x = 4
Use Pythagorean theorem to find y:
y = √(6^2 + 4^2)
y= √(36 + 16)
y = √52
y = 2√13 = 7.2
f(5) = 0.5^(5-1)*f(1) = 0.5^4 * 120 = 7.5
