Matthew has been asked to determine the height of a tree. He measured the height from the ground to his eye and found that it was 5 feet. He used a protractor to measure the angle between the horizontal and his line of sight to the top of the tree. He found that angle to measure 70 degrees He also determined his distance from the tree and found that it measured 12 fect. Use the information to determine the height of the tree .

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the tree is [tex]37.88[/tex] feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tree is equal to the sum of distance from ground level to eye level and distance between eye level to the top level of the tree.

Height of the tree [tex]= 5 + X[/tex]

[tex]tan \Theta =[/tex] Perpendicular / Base

[tex]tan\Theta = \frac{X}{12} \\X = 12 * tan70\\X= 12 * 2.74\\X = 32.88[/tex]

Total height of tree [tex]= 5 + X = 5 + 32.88 = 37.88[/tex] feet

Ron made 3 pitchers of lemonade sell at a lemonade stand. The cost of making the lemonade is 50 cents per pitcher of lemonade.

He sold each cup of lemonade for 15 cents, and he sold a total of 36 cups of lemonade.

How much money did Ron make selling lemonade after paying out the cost of making the lemonade?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cost = 3 pitchers × $0.50/pitcher = $1.50

revenue = 36 cups × $0.15/cup = $5.40

profit = $5.40 - $1.50 = $3.90

total amount to be repaid

Answers

Answer:

Simple Interest = principal × rate × time

principal= $9000

Rate= 12/100=0•12

Time=5years

Simple interest =PRT

= 9000× 0•12 × 5

After a bicycle tire has done 10 rotations, it has traveled 879.2 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the radius of the tire.

Answers

Answer:

14in approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

number of rotations= 10

Distance travelled=  879.2 inches

Hence if in 10 rotations the distance covered is  879.2 inches

               in 1 rotation the distance covered will be x inches

cross multiply

10x= 879.2

x=  879.2/10

x=  87.92 inches

This means that the circumference of the  tire is 87.92 in

From

C= 2πr

Let us solve for r

87.92=2*3.142*r

87.92=6.284r

r= 87.92/6.284

r= 13.9

Hence the radius is 14in approx

The first derivative of [tex]y = \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x} }[/tex] is [tex]y' = -\frac{1}{(1-x)\cdot (1+x)^{3/2}}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]y = \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x} }[/tex]. we can determine its first derivative by Rule for the Square Root Function, Rule for Power Function, Rule of Chain and Rule for the Addition of Functions, Rule for the Subtraction of Functions, Rule for the Division of Functions:

[tex]y' = \frac{1}{2\cdot \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x} }}\cdot \frac{(-1)\cdot (1+x)-(1)\cdot (1-x)}{(1+x)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]y' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x} }\cdot \left[\frac{-1-x-1+x}{(1+x)^{2}} \right][/tex]

[tex]y' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x} } \cdot \left[-\frac{2}{(1+x)^{2}} \right][/tex]

[tex]y' = -\frac{1}{(1-x)\cdot (1+x)^{3/2}}[/tex]

The first derivative of [tex]y = \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x} }[/tex] is [tex]y' = -\frac{1}{(1-x)\cdot (1+x)^{3/2}}[/tex].

Amy wrote a 10 sided die numbered one through 10 what is the probability that she will hold a number divisible by four

Answers

Answer:

2/10 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 4 and 8 are the only numbers 1-10 that are divisible by four.

This would give Amy a 2/10 chance of rolling a number divisible by 4.

To turn 2/10 into a percent, the denominator has to be 100 so if you multiply 10 by 10 you will get 100, you will also have to multiply 2 by 10 to get 20 and you will get 20/100

20/100 is equal to 20%

Therefore your answer would be 2/10 or 20%

The population of cats in a town increased by 25% from Year 1 to Year 2. The population of cats in Year 2 is 60.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but I guess that you want to find the population of the cats in Year 1. This will be represented by x. Therefore,

x + (25% × x) = 60

x + (0.25 × x) = 60

x + 0.25x = 60

1.25x = 60

x = 60/1.25

x = 48

The population of cats in year 1 is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

76 -8x = 1/2 (89 - 9x)             Multiply both sides by 2

152 - 16x = 89 - 9x                Subtract 89 from both sides

152-89 - 16x = - 9x                Add 16x to both sides.

63 - 16x +16x = 16x  - 9x

63 =7x                                  Divide by 7

x = 63/7

x = 9

MP = 89 - 9*9

A bird drops a stick to the ground from a height of 80 feet. The equation 0=−16x2+64x+80 gives the number of seconds that have passed when it hits the ground. After about how many seconds did the stick hit the ground?

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -16t^2 + 80   Stick hits the ground when h = 0:

0 = -16t^2 + 80    

16t^2 = 80

t^2 = 80/16 = 5

t = POSITIVE root 5 (due to the real world nature of the problem)

t approximately 2.236 seconds.

What is a linear function?

The term linear function refers to two distinct but related notions: In calculus and related areas, a linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line, that is, a polynomial function of degree zero or one.

Given, the table, we need to see whether the data in the table represent a linear function or an exponential function.

From the table, we have the following highlight :-

As the values of x increase by 1, the values of y decrease by 9

A decrement of 9, means -9

This means that, the common difference is -9.

Only a linear function can have a common difference.

Hence, the true statement is (b)

[tex]\sqrt{61}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 6 units horizontally

y = 5 units vertically

Use the pythagorean theorem[tex]\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2} } = L[/tex]

Plug x and y into the equation, and you will get [tex]\sqrt{61}[/tex] as the length.

Answer:

7.8 units (which is to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply the Pythagorean Theorem here; the length of the line is the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle whose horizontal leg length is 6 and whose vertical leg length is 5 units.  This Theorem is expressed symbolically as

a^2 + b^2 = c^2.  In this particular case, a = 6, b = 5 and c is to be determined.  Performing the calculations, we get

6^2 + 5^2 = c^2, or:

36 + 25 = 61 = c^2

Taking the positive square root of both sides, we get c = √61 ) exactly,

which rounds off to 7.8 units (to the nearest tenth).

The length of the line is 7.8 units.
