Grayson is 1.25 meters tall. At 12 noon, he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 22.75 meters. He stands 17.6 meters away from the tree, so that the tip of his shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow . Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

Grayson Is 1.25 Meters Tall. At 12 Noon, He Measures The Length Of A Tree's Shadow To Be 22.75 Meters.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5.52m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can see that two similar triangles are formed. One similar triangle is the big triangle, with the base being 22.75m and the height being the tree's height. Another triangle is formed with Grayson's height as the height and the and the difference between where he is standing and the edge of the tree's shadow (the red outline in the picture) .  We know that these are similar triangles because both the bases are parallel, as well as the heights and hypotenuses.

The base length for the triangle with Grayson as the height is 22.75-17.6 = 5.15 .

For similar triangles, we know that the ratios between sides are the same. For example, base₁/base₂ = height₁/height₂ . We can apply this here, making 5.15 base₁ and 1.25 height₁ (note that the same triangle's sides should be on top)

If we make the tree's height t, we thus have

5.15/22.75 = 1.25/t (height 2 is the tree's height

multiply both sides by t to remove one denominator

5.15 * t / 22.75 = 1.25

multiply both sides by 22.75 to remove the other denominator

5.15 * t = 1.25 * 22.75

          = 28.4375

divide both sides by 5.15 to isolate the t

t = 5.52m

Grayson Is 1.25 Meters Tall. At 12 Noon, He Measures The Length Of A Tree's Shadow To Be 22.75 Meters.

What is the largest prime number less than 200?

Answers

Answer:

199

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers.

A prime number is a number that has only two divisors: 1 and itself.

Exaples:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 ...

We know: all primes except 2 are odd.

Let's check the number 199:

We know:

13² = 13 · 13 = 169 < 200

17² = 17 · 17 = 289 > 200

199 : 3 is not an integer

199 : 5 is not an integer

199 : 7 is not an integer

199 : 11 is not an integer

199 : 13 is not an integer

199 : 17 is not an integer

Therefore 199 is thelargest prime number less than 200.

Xavier leans a 28-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an angle of 69 degrees with the ground. How high up the wall does the ladder reach? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\approx 26.14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, one is given a right triangle, with the length of the hypotenuse given and one of the angles in the triangle. One is asked to find the length of one of the legs. In this situation, one can use right-angle trigonometry. Right angle trigonometry has the following ratios,

[tex]sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Please note that the sides named (opposite) and (adjacent) are subjective depending on the angle of reference. The side named (hypotenuse) is the side opposite the right angle, its name does not change. In this case, one is given an angle measure and the measurement of the hypotenuse. One is asked to find the length of the side opoosite this angle. One should use the ratio of sine (sin) to achieve this.

[tex]sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]sin(69)=\frac{opposite}{28}[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]28(sin(69))=opposite[/tex]

[tex]26.14\approx opposite[/tex]

Given Q(x) = 7x − 3 and P(x) = 7x3 − 3x2 + 42x − 27, find P(x) Q(x) . (Divide using long division.)

Answers

Complete question:

Given Q(x) = 7x − 3 and P(x) = 7x3 − 3x2 + 42x − 27, find P(x) ÷ Q(x) . (Divide using long division.)

Answer:

[tex]\frac{7x^3 \ - \ 3x^2 \ + \ 42x \ - \ 27}{7x \ - \ 3} = \ \ x^2 + 6 \ \ \frac{-9}{7x \ - \ 3}[/tex]

The quotient = x²  + 6 and the remainder = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Q(x) = 7x − 3

P(x) = 7x³ − 3x² + 42x − 27

To divide P(x) by Q(x) using long division, we apply the following method;

                                 

                                      x²  + 6

                                  ---------------------------------

                  7x − 3   √ 7x³ − 3x² + 42x − 27

                               − (7x³ - 3x²)

                               -------------------------------------

                                               42x − 27

                                           − (42x  − 18)

                               ----------------------------------------

                                                       − 9

[tex]Therefore, \ \frac{7x^3 \ - \ 3x^2 \ + \ 42x \ - \ 27}{7x \ - \ 3} = \ \ x^2 + 6 \ \ \frac{-9}{7x \ - \ 3}[/tex]

The quotient = x²  + 6 and the remainder = - 9

One of Eric's steps is 18in long. How many steps would he take to walk 1 mile?

Answers

Answer:

3520 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we must do is figure out how many inches are in a mile. (There are 63,360 inches in one mile). With that out of the way, we can now divide these inches by 18, since each of Eric's steps are 18 inches long, and we want to determine how many steps he would have to take. 63,360 divided by 18 is 3520. This means our answer is 3520 steps, and that is how many steps he must take to walk 1 mile. I hope you understood and please let me know if you still need help!

Answer: 3520 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 63360 inches1 step = 18 in

Use proportions and set x = number of steps in a mile:

[tex]\frac{1}{18 in}=\frac{X}{63360 in}[/tex]

18x = 63360

x = 63360 ÷ 18 = 3520 steps.

Find the equation of a quadratic function in general form whose graph has points: (-2, 3) (0, 3) and (-4,-5).

Try your best to show complete work & explain your strategy.

Answers

Answer:

-x²-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing I noticed is that the first and second point has the same y intercept despite being only 2 x coordiantes away. This must mean that the vertex's x coordiante is probably (-1,4)

Because the vertex is probably (-1,4) the graph must also be concave down because the point (-4,-5) is below it

writing this in vertex form we get

-a(x+1)²+4

Where a is some constant

solve for a by plugging in (0,3)

3= -a(0+1)²+4

3= -a+4

-1= -a

a=1

therefore the equation looks like

-(x+1)²+4

expanding this so that it's in stantard form...

-(x²+x+x+1)+4

-x²-2x+3
