a tree that is 15 feet tall casts a shadow that is 4 feet long. what is the distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow? round to the nearest tenth.
By using trigonometry, it can be calculated that-
Distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow is 15.46 feet
What is Trigonometry?
Trigonometry shows the relationship between sides and angles of a right angled triangle.
There are six trigonometrical functions
[tex]sin \theta, cos \theta, tan \theta, cot \theta, sec \theta, cosec \theta[/tex]
[tex]sin \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\cos \theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse} \\\\tan \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base} \\\\cot \theta = \frac{Base}{Perpendicular} \\\\sec \theta = \frac{Hypotenuse}{Base} \\\\cosec \theta = \frac{Hypotenuse}{Perpendicular} \\\\[/tex]
Let the angle of elevation be [tex]\theta[/tex] and distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow be d feet
Here the tree represents the perpendicular, shadow represents the base and distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow represents the hypotenuse
A tree that is 15 feet tall casts a shadow that is 4 feet long
[tex]tan\theta = \frac{15}{4}\\\theta = tan^{-1}( \frac{15}{4})\\\theta = 75.1^{\circ}[/tex]
Now,
[tex]sin75.1^{\circ} = \frac{15}{d}[/tex]
[tex]0.97 = \frac{15}{d}\\d = \frac{15}{0.97}\\d = 15.46 \ feet[/tex]
Distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow is 15.46 feet

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. On a number line, point f is at 4, and point g is at. Point h lies between point f and point g. If the ratio of fh to hg is 3 : 9, where does point h lie on the number line? point h is at on the number line.
The point H is at 2.5 on the number line
Here we know that point F is at 4 and point G is at -2.
The distance between these 2 points is
4 - (-2)
= 4 + 2 units
= 6 units.
Now let the point H be at x on the number line.
Now it is given that
FH:GH = 3:9
or, FH/GH = 3/9
or, (4 - x) / (x - (-2)) = 3/9
or, (4 - x)/(x + 2) = 1 /3
or, 12 - 3x = x + 2
or, 4x = 10
or, x = 2.5

Point Q is on line segment PR. Given PR = 10 and QR = 8 determine the length PQ.
By means of Euclidean geometry and algebra, the line segment PQ has a length of 2 units.
How to determine the length of a line segment
In this problem we find the case of a geometric system formed by a line segment PR with a point Q on the line between P and R. Thus, a line segment PQ is inside the line segment described above.
According to the statement, the lengths of the line segments PR and QR are known and the length of line segment PQ can be known by Euclidean geometry and algebra:
PR = PQ + QR
PQ = PR - QR
If we know that PR = 10 and QR = 8, then the line segment PQ is calculated below:
PQ = 10 - 8
PQ = 2
In accordance with algebra and Euclidean trigonometry, the length of line segment PQ is 2.

Part A Fill in the blank question. A model car is for sale online. Beginning on day one, the owner discounts the price by 5% each day until it sells. On the third day the car sells. If the original price of the model car was $40, how much did the car sell for to the nearest cent? $ Part B Fill in the blank question. What percent discount does this represent from the original price? Round to the nearest whole percent.
Part A) If the original price of the model car was $40, and it was sold on the third day, with a daily discount of 5%, the sales amount is $34.30.
Part B) The percentage discount from the original price is 14%.
Calculating the percentage discount:The percentage discount is the total discount divided by the original price multiplied by 100.
In this instance, we compute the total discount as $5.70, then express this value as a numerator with $40 as the denominator. The quotient is multiplied by 100.
Original price of the model car = $40
Daily discount = 5%
The date the car sells = the third day
The sales price on the third day = $34.30 ($40 x 95% x 95% x 95%)
Total discounts = $5.70 ($40 - $34.30)
Percentage discount for three days =14.25% ($5.70/$40 x 100)
= 14%

A person is selected at random.
What is the probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities?
The probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities is 0.8.
Given that, there are 120 people in a sport center.
What is the probability?Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.
We know that, probability of an event = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
Now, the person uses exactly one of the facilities

On January 1, a nasty species of algae is mistakenly introduced into Lake Skinner. It grows in such a way that it doubles every day. If it continues to grow like this, the lake will be totally covered and the fish in the lake will suffocate. At the rate it is growing, this will happen on January 30.
1). When will Lake Skinner be covered halfway?
2). On January 26, you convince your friend that the lake will be completely covered soon. Your friend laughs. Why is your friend skeptical?
3). One January 29 a cleanup crew arrives and is able to remove most of the algae. When they are done on February 1, only 1 % of the surface is covered. How well does this solve the problem in Lake Skinner?
Answer:
1). If the algae doubles every day, it will take 15 days for it to cover half the lake. This means it would happen on January 15.
2). Your friend may be skeptical because they may not believe that the algae can grow so quickly and cover the entire lake in just 30 days. Alternatively, they may not believe that you have accurate information about the situation.
3). Removing most of the algae on January 29 would significantly reduce the amount of algae in the lake and would likely help prevent the lake from becoming completely covered. However, if 1% of the surface is still covered with algae on February 1, it is possible that the problem has not been fully solved and the algae could continue to grow and potentially become a problem again in the future. It would be best to continue monitoring the lake and taking action to prevent the algae from growing.
