So in the problem, the length of the chord there is the circumference of the tree. So in order to get the diameter of the tree, we must use the formula in getting the circumference of a circle that is stated as follows. 

C = 2pi *Radius

so first we need the get the radius of the tree which represent by this formula:

Radius = C /2pi = 8/6.2832 = 1.2732 ft 
Diameter = 2*radius = 2 * 1.27 32 = 2.5465 feet 

In summary, the diameter of the tree is 2.565 feet.

If nothing is known about the shape of the distribution of a quantitative variable, what percentage of data fall within 2 standa
Nezavi [6.7K]
<span>At least 75% of the data will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is tricky problem. Usually when you're dealing with standard deviation, you have a bell curve, or something close to a bell curve and for such a data distribution, there will be approximately 95% of the data within 2 standard deviations of the mean. But if you don't know that you have a bell curve, you have to fall back to Chebyshev’s Theorem, which states that at least 75% of the data points will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean for any set of numbers.</span>

A friend tells you that he has a cubic equation with exactly three complex roots. Determine which explanation best explains why
Ksju [112]
Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.

a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.

therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.

if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.
