Answer: 20 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Keeping on mind the information shown in the figure attached and the similarity of both triangles, you can calculate the height of the tree (h) as you can see below:

\frac{3}{30}=\frac{2}{h}

2. Now, you must solve for the height. So, you obtain the following result:

h=\frac{30*2}{3}\\h=20

3. Therefore, the height of the tree is 20 meters.

You are setting up a zip line in your yard. You map out your yard in a coordinate plane. An equation of the line representing th
finlep [7]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

9.2 ft.

Explanation:

The distance from a point (m,n) to a line Ax+By+C=0 is given by the formula:
d=\frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}

We first need to write our equation in the form Ax+By+C=0.
y=(-6/7)x+7

First we will add 6/7x to each side:
y+6/7x=(-6/7x)+7+(6/7x)
y+6/7x=7

Now we will subtract 7 from each side:
y+6/7x-7=7-7
y+6/7x-7=0

It will be easier to work with this equation if we do not have fractions.  We can accomplish this by multiplying everything by the denominator of the fraction, 7:
y(7)+(6/7x)(7)-7(7)=0
7y+(42/7)x-49=0
7y+6x-49=0

Now we rearrange the terms to the x term is in front:
6x+7y-49=0

This is in the form Ax+By+C=0, where A=6, B=7 and C=-49.

Substituting these into our formula above along with our coordinates from our point (m,n)=(6, 14) we have:
d=\frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}&#10;\\&#10;\\d=\frac{|6(6)+7(14)-49|}{\sqrt{6^2+7^2}}&#10;\\&#10;\\d=\frac{|36+98-49|}{\sqrt{36+49}}&#10;\\&#10;\\d=\frac{|85|}{\sqrt{85}}=\frac{85}{\sqrt{85}}=9.2&#10;

Johann fits a linear model to a set of data. The line of best fit has the equation y=0.331986x+5.33286. The scatter plot with th
Rasek [7]

Answer:

6.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are asked to give a residual value at x = 3

This mean we are to predict the value of y at the point x= 3

To do this, what we need to do is to input the value x = 3 into the line of best fit equation.

The line of best fit equation according to the question is;

y=0.331986x+5.33286

Substituting x here, we have

y = 0.331986(3) + 5.33286

y = 0.995958 + 5.33286 = 6.328818

Question asks to give answer to the nearest hundredth and that is 6.33

the scale from a square exercise mat in a gymnastic arena to a scale copy of the exercise mat is 8 m for every 2 in. The actual
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 18 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 8m for every 2 in and the actual area is 144m2 so we need to covert that into inches. You divide 144 by 8 which = 18 and then multiply 18 x 2 which is equal to 36.
