A tree casts a shadow that is 9 meters long, and the angle of elevation from the top of the shadow to the top of the tree is 52º. Which is the height of the tree
rounded to the nearest meter?*

Given: hf || jk; hg ? jg prove: fhg ? kjg to prove that the triangles are congruent by asa, which statement and reason could be used as part of the proof? fgh ? kgj because vertical angles are congruent. jkg ? hfg because vertical angles are congruent. fhg ? jkg because right angles are congruent. hfg ? kjg because alternate interior angles are congruent.

Now max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.

Prove (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1 and (b) 1 − tanh 2(x) = sech 2(x). solution (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = ex + e−x 2 2 − 2 = e2x + 2 + e−2x 4 − = 4 = . (b) we start with the identity proved in part (a): cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1. if we divide both sides by cosh2(x), we get 1 − sinh2(x) cosh2(x) = 1 or 1 − tanh 2(x) = .
