3. Tarzan went to the plant nursery and bought a tree that was initially 90 feet tall for his monkey friends to climb on.
After planting the tree, Tarzan made a table to record the height, h, of the tree, t years after it was planted. “Zero” is the time when he planted the tree.
t 0 1 2 3 4
h 90 105 120 135 150

(a) Use words to describe the relationship between the height of the tree and the number of years since it was planted.

(b) Write a two-variable equation to illustrate the relationship between the height of the tree and the number of years since it has been planted.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the word superfluous means unnecessary

is there a picture

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240

nope.   happens to me as well.
