A tree casts a 20-foot shadow when the sun makes an angle of 42 degrees with the ground. Find the height of the tree to the nearest foot.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

18.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use trigonometry for this question.

So, the basic measurements we have are:

1. The angle of elevation = 42 degrees

2. Base length of the triangle(ie. the shadow  on the floor) = 20 ft

Now, imagine a right angled triangle with the base length as the shadow height, the height of the triangle as the height of the tree and the hypotenuse as the sun ray that causes the shadow. Also, the angle opposite the height is the 42 degrees.

So, we know the Adjacent length and we want to know the opposite length ( in respects with the angle given)

So, the trig ratio that compares the two is ‘Tan’

Now, form the equation:

Tan (42) = Opposite/ Adjacent = O/ A = O/20

Rearrange to solve:

O/20 = Tan(42)

O = Tan(42) x 20

Key these into a calculator and you get the answer: 18.800808...

Round to a suitable degree of accuracy.

Aiden and his sister saved 360 quarter altogether. Aiden saved twice as many quarters as his sister, If Aiden plans to put his quarter into 3 equal piles, how many quarters will he put in each pil.

Answers

Answer:

Aiden and his sister have 360 quarters together. If Aiden has twice as much as his sister, he has 180 quarters.

360/2 = 180

Aiden divides his quarters into 3 equal piles.

180/3 = 60

Aiden has 60 quarters in each of his 3 piles.

Write an exponential decay model for each situation. The value of x for each value of f(x) will lie between two consecutive whole numbers. List the whole numbers.

initial value: 1,800
decay rate: 7%
f(x) = 400

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are;

20 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

A general form of an exponential decay model can be presented as follows;

f(x) = a·(1 + r)ˣ

Where;

f(x) = The output for a given input variable, 'x'

x = The input variable

a = The initial value

r = The growth (+ve) or decay (-ve) rate

When f(x) = 400, a = 1,800, r  = -7% = -0.07, we get;

400 = 1,800 × (1 - 0.07)ˣ

(1 - 0.07)ˣ = 400/1,800 = 2/9

ln((1 - 0.07)ˣ) = ln(2/9)

x = ln(2/9)/(ln(1 - 0.07)) ≈ 20.73

The value of 'x' lies between 20 and 21.

Two similar polygons are shown below. Find the value of x and y.

Answers

Answer:

x = 18, y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ SRT and Δ VUT are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{SR}{VU}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{ST}{VT}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{12}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{6}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

4x = 72 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 18

From side ST

y + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

y = 12

Answers

Answer:

14/48 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply 7/8x2/3 which equals 14/24, which makes the base of the prisim 14/24 feet. Then you need to multiply 14/24 ( the base) by 1/2 (the height). 14/24x1/2= 14/48.

The final answer is 14/48.

(Part A)Find the area of the circle with a radius of 4m.
(Part B)Find the circumference of the circle with a radius of 4 m.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Area of Circle =

[tex]\pi {r}^{2} \\ = \pi( {4}^{2} ) \\ = 16\pi {m}^{2} [/tex]

Part B)

Circumference of Circle =

[tex]2\pi \: r \\ = 2\pi(4) \\ = 8\pi \: m[/tex]

Answer:

Part A: 16π m²

Part B: 8π m

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex] where r is the radius

Plug in 4 as the radius

[tex]A=\pi (4)^2\\A=\pi(16)\\A=16\pi[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the circle is 16π m².

Part B

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex] where r is the radius

Plug in 4 as the radius

[tex]C=2\pi (4)\\C=8\pi[/tex]

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 8π m.

Antoine and Tess have a disagreement over how to compute a 15% gratuity on $46.00.

Tess says, “It is easy to find 10% of 46 by moving the decimal point one place to the left to get $4.60. Do that twice. Then add the two amounts to get 4 dollars and 60 cents + 4 dollars and 60 cents = 9 dollars and 20 cents for the 15% gratuity.”

How should Antoine respond to Tess’s method?
“Tess, the best way to find 15% of $46.00 is to multiply StartFraction 1 over 15 EndFraction by $46.00 to get $3.07, which is the 15% gratuity.”
“Tess, you found 20% of the number because you added 10% and 10%. You need to add 10% to One-half of 10%. Add $4.60 and $2.30 to get $6.90, which is the 15% gratuity.”
“Tess, the best way to find 15% of $46.00 is to multiply 0.015 and 46.00 to get $0.69, which is the 15% gratuity.”
“Tess, you should use a table with 5% segments to find the gratuity. Each 5% segment has a value of $9.20, so that is the 15% gratuity.”

Answers

Answer:

How would Antonio respond....she would say "Thanks for the practice ".

Tess is right about it being easy to find 10% of 46 by moving the decimal point 1 place to the left to get 4.60.....but there is no need to do that twice....because if u do 10% twice, ur doing 20%.

okay....once u get 10% of 46 = 4.60....then u figure 5% of 46 = (0.05(46) = 2.30....because 10% + 5% = 15%.....then u add those together.....4.60 + 2.30 = 6.90. This can easily be checked...15% of 46 = 0.15(46) = 6.9 ,just like 10% of 46 + 5% of 46 = 6.9

What is the ratio?

A ratio in mathematics is a comparison of two or more numbers that shows how big one is in comparison to the other. The dividend or number being divided is referred to as the antecedent, while the divisor or number that is dividing is referred to as the consequent.

Given that,

A new color of green requires 5 yellow to 4 parts blue

The paint mixer used 30 gallons of yellow

The number of gallons of blue color needed = ?

Ratio of yellow to blue in mixture = 5/4

So, if 30 gallons of yellow is used

then gallons of blue = ?

Suppose, gallons of blue =  x

5/4  = 30/x

x  = 24

Hence, the gallons of blue is 24
