A tree casts a shadow that is 18 feet in length. If the angle of elevation is 28 degrees, which of the following best represents the height of the tree?

Answers

Answer 1

to find the height

 multiply the length of shadow by the tangent of the angle

18 * tan(28)  =9.5708

 the tree is around 9.6 feet tall

Answer 2

The angle of elevation is the angle at which the object is viewed from below.  The height of the tree is 8,45feet

Angle of elevation

The angle of elevation is the angle at which the object is viewed from below.

If  tree casts a shadow that is 18 feet in length at the angle of 28 degrees, the height is calculated as:

sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 28 = H/18
H = 18sin28
H = 8.45 feet

Hence the height of the tree is 8,45feet

What is a Lender?

A lender is a person, a group (public or private), or a financial organization that makes cash accessible to a person or business with the expectation of repayment. Payment of any interest or fees will be included in the repayment.

Repayment might take place in installments (such as a monthly mortgage payment) or as a flat amount. A mortgage is one of the largest loans that individuals obtain from lenders.

The loan duration varies depending on the type of debt. While some loans are for 1-2 years, the majority are for 6-12 months.

Thus, a person or company that allows others to borrow money is called a "lender".

A map of square piece of property is drawn at a scale of 1 : 500. If a side of the property on the map is 16 cm, what is the property's actual area?

Answers

can I get dimensions?

Answer:

[tex]\text{Actual area of property}}=6400\text{ m}^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the actual side of square property.

We have been given that a map of square piece of property is drawn at a scale of 1 : 500.

We will use proportions to solve for our given problem.

[tex]\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Map length}}=\frac{500}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{16\text{ cm}}=\frac{500}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{16\text{ cm}}*16\text{ cm}=500*16\text{ cm}}[/tex]

In my block of 100 flats a painter is kept employed by painting one flat each month from January to November. The flats are painted in the same order and he takes a holiday every December. If my flat was last painted in August 2010 when will it be next painted?

Answers

January to November == 11 months.

11 flats are painted every year.

100 flats / 11 flats per year = 9 years + 1 month 

the next time it will be painted is September 2019.

Answer:

The answer is September 2019.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the date of the painting flat, we have to know how the painter works.

Every year, the painter paints 11 flats, because he paints one flat each month and he doesn't work in December.

Also, if we consider that "my flat" is currently in the first position, we have to wait until the painter paints the 100 position because the painter has to paint 99 flats more.

So, "my flat was painted in August 2010", then the painter paints 3 flats more that year (September, October, November).

Now we add more painted flats every year:

3+11+11+11+11+11+11+11+11=91

At beginning of 2019, the painter has painted 91 flats. So in 9 months later, the painter will be paint the 100 position, that is in September 2019.

Finally "my flat" will be painted in September 2019.

[tex]\rm x = \dfrac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

It is given that:

A scientist finds the temperature of a sample at the beginning of an experiment is t degrees Celcius.

After 1 hour, the temperature is t² degrees Celcius. If the temperature after 1 hour is 81 degrees Celcius.

From the question:

t² = 81

Taking square root on both sides:

t = ±√81

t = ±9

t = 9 degrees Celcius

Or

t = -9 degrees Celcius

The difference between the temperature = (9) - (-9) = 18 degrees Celcius

Thus, the two possible original temperatures are 9 and - 9 degrees Celcius and the difference between the temperature is 18 degrees Celcius.

The center of an ellipse is located at (0, 0). One focus is located at (12, 0), and one directrix is at x = 14 1/12.
what is the equation that represents the ellipse?????????

Answers

The standard equation for an ellipse is
[tex] \frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}} + \frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}} =1[/tex]
where
(h,k) = coordinates of the center
a, b = semi-major and semi-minor axes

Refer to the figure shown below.
The center of the ellipse is at (0,0). 
Therefore, h=0, k=0.

One focus is at (12, 0)
Therefore
c = 12

One directrix is at  14 1/12 = 169/12.
Because the directrix is located at x = a²/c, therefore
a²/12 = 169/12
a² = 169/144
a = 13

Because c² = a² - b², obtain
b² = a² - c²
     = 169 - 144 = 25
b = 5

Answer:
The equation for the ellipse is
[tex] \frac{x^{2}}{169} + \frac{y^{2}}{25} =1[/tex]

Final answer:

The equation that represents the ellipse with the given coordinates of the center, one focus, and one directrix is x^2/144 + y^2/(25/12) = 1.

Explanation:

The equation that represents the ellipse with the center at (0, 0), one focus at (12, 0), and one directrix at x = 14 1/12 can be found using the standard form of the equation for an ellipse:

(x - h)^2/a^2 + (y - k)^2/b^2 = 1

where (h, k) is the center of the ellipse, a is the distance from the center to the vertices, and b is the distance from the center to the co-vertices.

Since the center is at (0, 0), the equation becomes:

x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

The distance from the center to one focus is 12, so the value of a is 12. To find the value of b, we need to use the distance from the focus to the directrix. Since the directrix is x = 14 1/12, the distance from the focus to the directrix is |14 1/12 - 12|. Simplifying, we get |14 1/12 - 12| = 2 1/12. Therefore, the value of b is 2 1/12.

Substituting these values into the equation, we get:

x^2/144 + y^2/(25/12) = 1

Which equation represents an exponential function with an initial value of 500

Answers

Exponential function is characterized by an exponential increase or decrease of the value from one data point to the next by some constant. When you graph an exponential function, it would start by having a very steep slope. As time goes on, the slope decreases until it levels off. The general from of this equation is: y = A×b^x, where A is the initial data point at the start of an event, like an experiment. The term 'b' is the constant of exponential change. This is raised to the power of x, which represents the independent variable, usually time.

So, the hint for you to find is the term 500 right before the term with an exponent. For example, the function would be: y = 500(1.8)^x.
