Diane wants to measure the height of a tree. She sights the top of the tree, using a mirror that is lying flat on the ground. The mirror is 35 ft from the tree, and
Diane is standing 7.9 ft from the mirror, as shown in the figure. Her eyes are 6 ft above the ground. How tall is the tree? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answers

Answer 1

The tree is approximately 27 ft tall if the answer is rounded off to the nearest foot when the similar triangle formula is applied.

What are properties of similar triangles?

Two triangles can be said to be similar if their corresponding angles are seen as congruent and thereafter their corresponding sides are in proportion.

What are the 3 similar triangles?

Similar Triangles Definition

Angle - Angle (AA)

Side - Angle - Side (SAS)

Side - Side - Side (SSS)Similar triangles are triangles that have the same shape, but their sizes may vary.

If Diane, mirror, and the exact bottom of the tree are placed as points on the ground all lying on one line, then the two right triangles can be stated as:

LEFT: y and 35 as the legs and unknown hypotenuse.

RIGHT: 6 and 7.9 as the legs and unknown hypotenuse.

The two angles pointed at the mirror are seen as of same measure that means that 35 and the hypotenuse of LEFT triangle makes same angle measure as the 7.9 and the hypotenuse of that of the RIGHT triangle.

Since these two are seen as similar triangles,

y/35 = 6/7.9

⇒y = 26.58

⇒ y ≈ 27 ft

A train of length 150 metres entered a straight tunnel of length s metres. It took the entire crossing of the tunnel in a time of 15 seconds. Find the length of the tunnel if the train moves with uniform velocity equals 90 km./hr

Answers

The tunnel measures 225 meters in length.

Uniform velocity: What is it?

Velocity is the measure of how quickly an object's position changes over time and in relation to a frame of reference. A body moves across space with uniform velocity when it does so with an equal displacement per unit of time.

Velocity is equal to the product of distance and time.

It measures in m/s.

In response to the query, we are provided with the-

150m is the length of the train.

s m is the tunnel's length.

90 km/hr is the train's speed.

= 90 × 5/18 m/sec

= 25m/sec

Total distance equals (train length plus tunnel length).

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

⇒ 25 = (150 + s) / 15

⇒ 25 × 15 = 150 +s

⇒ 375 = 150 + s

⇒ 375 - 150 = s

⇒ s = 225

⇒ s = 225m

Hence, the length of the tunnel is 225 m.

Answers

the coordinates of point c is (9/2, -3/2)

Explanation:

The original coordinate = C(6, -2)

scale factor r =3/4

New coordinate (c) = scale factor × the original coordinate

c = 3/4(6, -2)

c = (3/4×6, -2×3/4)

c = (18/4, -6/4)

c = (9/2, -3/2)

Answers

The distance between Noor's house and her grandparent's house is 37.40 miles or if rounded off to the nearest tenth, it will be 40 miles using the estimation concept.

As per the question statement, Noor’s family is meeting her grandparents at a restaurant and the restaurant is 24.5 miles from Noor’s house but this is 65.5% of the distance from Noor’s house to her grandparents’ house.

We are supposed to find the distance between Noor's house and her grandparent's house. We will use the concept of estimation.

Distance between Noor's house and restaurant = 24.5 miles

Let distance between Noor's house and her grandparent's house be "x" miles.

So the distance between grandparent's house and restaurant = x - 24.5

Now it is given that 24.5 miles is 65.5% of the distance from Noor’s house to her grandparents’ house.

So, 65.5% of x = 24.5

(65.5*x)/100 = 24.5

65.5*x = 2450

x = 2450 / 65.5

x = 37.40 miles

If rounded off to the nearest tenth mile, we get

x = 40 miles.

So, the distance between Noor's house and her grandparent's house is 37.40 miles or if rounded off to the nearest tenth, it will be 40 miles.

square feet. What was the width of the plywood?

Answers

The width of the plywood = 23/8 ft

The two rectangular pieces of plywood had equal widths.

The length of first rectangular piece = 6 ft

The length of second rectangular piece = 5 1/2 ft = 11/2 ft

The two pieces are joined to make a single rectangular stage.

Then the total length of the stage = 6 + 11/2 = 23/2 ft

Now area of the rectangular stage = 66 1/8 = 529/8 square feet.

⇒ length x width = 529/8

⇒ 23/2 x width = 529/8

width = 529/8 x 2/23 = 23/4 ft

Let 'x' be the width of a rectangular plywood.

Then 2x = width of the stage

⇒ 2x = 23/4

⇒ x = 23/8 ft

Hence width of the plywood = 23/8 ft

Using properties of exponents, it is found that Mia's first mistake is described as follows:

Mia made a mistake in Step 3. She simplified the exponents 16 and -8 incorrectly. She should have subtracted them.

Which properties of exponents are used in this problem?

When two terms with the same base and different exponents are multiplied, we keep the base and add the exponents, as follows:

3^0 x 3^(16) = 3^(0 + 16) = 3^16.

Hence the Step 1 is correct.

For the power of power rule, we keep the base and multiply the exponents, hence:

(3^(-4))² = 3^(-4 x 2) = 3^(-8).

Hence the Step 2 is correct.

When two terms with the same base and different exponents are divided, we keep the base and subtract the exponents, as follows:

3^16/(3^(-8)) = 3^(16 - (-8)) = 3^(16 + 8) = 24.

Which is Mia's mistake, as she did not subtract the exponents.

A fair number cube with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is rolled
a. What is the probability of getting an even number?
b. What is the probability of getting a factor of 6?

Answers

The probability of getting an even number is 1/2 while the probability of getting a factor of 6 is 1/6

How to determine the probabilities?

The probability of an even number

From the question, the sample space of the number cube is given as

Space = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

The above means that

Sample size, n = 6 ---- i.e. the number of observations

Number of even numbers, x = 3

The probability of getting an even number is then calculated as

P(Even) = Number of even numbers/Sample size

This gives

P(Even) = 3/6 = 1/2

The probability of a factor of 6

From the question, the sample space of the number cube is given as

Space = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

The above means that

Sample size, n = 6 ---- i.e. the number of observations

Number of factor of 6, x = 1

The probability of getting a factor of 6 is then calculated as

P(factor) = Number of factor of 6/Sample size

This gives

P(factor) = 1/6

Hence, the probability is 1/2 and 1/6

Two straight lengths of wire are placed on the ground, forming vertical angles. If the measure of one of the angles formed is 72degrees, what are the measures of the other three angles? Explain your answer. (15 points and brainliest)

Answers

72, 108, and 108 are the other three angles formed by the two straight lengths of wire.

What is termed as the  vertical angles?When two lines intersect, the two angles that really are opposite each other are referred to as vertical angles. Vertical angles are so named not because they are oriented vertically, but because they share a same vertex, this same point of intersection between the two lines.

For the given question.

Two straight lengths of wire are put on the ground, to form vertical angles.

Because vertical angles have always been congruent, 72 is the vertical angle to 72.

Because the line is straight, the answer is 180.

180 - 73 equal 108. (supplement angles)

Because they are both vertical angles, there are two 180s.

Thus, the three angles formed are 72, 180 and 180 degrees.

In the fourth week, 137 fewer people went to the pool than in the third week. What is the percent decrease in the number of
people who went to the pool over these four weeks?

Answers

With the concepts of percentages and calculations, the percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over these four weeks is 10%

What is the way to solve percentages?

Take the base as 100 and convert the percentage to numbers and then proceed with the same.

Now, the initial number of people in the local swimming pool is 1020, after which 100 fewer went, hence 920 people

Now, 135 people more people need to be added, thus 1055 people.

Now, 137 fewer people went, so 918 people went to the pool in the four weeks.

Therefore percent decrease = Difference/No. of people in the first week * 100

Thus, the percent decrease =  102/1020*100=10%

Hence 10% of people went less in the fourth week as compared to the first week.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Terry bought 2 shirts for $14 each.

That is $28 on shirts

2 pair of socks for $2.99

That is $5.98 on socks

A pair of slacks for $25

The sales tax rate is 6.5% or 6.5/100 or 0.065

We want to know how much he paid.

Adding all the items he bought together, we have:

$28 + $5.98 + $25

= $58.98

Next, we apply the sales tax rate.

Take 6.5% of $58.98

This is: $58.98 * 0.065

= $3.83

Finally, add the sales tax with the amount we got

$58.98 + $3.83

= $62.81

He paid $62.81 in total
