Mark's favorite tree is a large oak
tree in his front yard. Mark wanted to
know how tall the tree is. At the
same time of day, he measured the
length of his shadow and the length
of the shadow cast by the tree. Mark,
who is 5 feet tall, cast a shadow 10
feet long. He found that the tree's
shadow was 140 feet long. How tall is
the tree?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  The shadow of the tree is 280 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve this:

Use the Height to shadow for each. This works because the fractions must reduce to the same equivalent.

5/10 = 140/x

We can see that 5/10 is 1/2, so we need another fraction using 140 as the numerator that is equal to 1/2.  That's easy here: Multiply 140 × 2 to get the new denominator, 280 that replaces x. That is the length of the shadow.

If you have a less obvious ratio, you can use Cross Multiplication to solve the unknown value in the ratio:

5/10 = 140/x  Cross multiply the numerator of the left side times the denominator on the right side, and the denominator on the left side by the numerator on the right side:

5 × x = 10 × 140

5x = 1400  Divide both sides by 5 (the 5s "cancel" on the left)

5x/5 = 1400/5

x = 280

I hope this helps, especially when you see more questions like this in the future.

Al, Tom and Joe share €3000.
The ratio of the amount Al gets to the amount Tom gets is in the
ratio 5:4
Joe gets 1.5 times the amount Tom gets.
Work out the amount of money that Tom gets.

Answers

Answer:

Tom's share = €800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount shared by Al, Tom and Joe = €3000

Ratio of Al's share to Tom's share = 5 : 4

Joe's share = 1.5(Tom's share) = 1.5(4) = 6

Therefore,

Ratio of Al, Tom and Joe = 5 : 4 : 6

Let,

x be the number of times of amount each get.

5x + 4x + 6x = 3000

15x = 3000

Dividing both sides by 15

[tex]\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{3000}{15}\\x=200[/tex]

Tom's share = 4x = 4(200) = €800

Hence,

Tom's share = €800

Answer:

JML=142 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape is a rhombus, as all 4 sides are equal, but the angle measures are not. One of the properties of a rhombus is that opposite angles are congruent, and adjacent angles are supplementary. Only the second one is important. Since angles KLM and angle JML are supplementary, the equation KLM+JML=180 can be used. KLM is then substituted by the given angle measure, 38 degrees, to get an equation such as JML+38=180. Now, to solve for JML, 38 must be subtracted from both sides of the equation, which leaves teh answer of JML=142.

Millie expected 20 friends to show up to her birthday party, but 24 attended. What was
her percent error? Round to the nearest percent.

Answers

Answer:

Her percent error was: ≈ 17% (whole percent)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Approximate value = 20 friends

Exact Value = 24 friends

To determine

Percent error

Using the formula to calculate the Percent error

Percent error = | Approximate Value| - Exact Value | / | Exact value | × 100

                       = | 20 - 24 | / | 24 | × 100

                       = | - 4 | / | 24 | × 100

Apply absolute value: |-a| = a,   a>0

                       = 4/24 × 100

                       = 16.67 %

                       ≈ 17% (whole percent)

Thus, her percent error was: ≈ 17% (whole percent)

Answer:

  80.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable trig function is the tangent.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

In this scenario, the side opposite the angle is the tower height, 324 m. The side adjacent is the distance to the tower, 54 m. Then the angle α is related by ...

  tan(α) = 324/54

The value of the angle with this tangent is found using the arctangent function:

  α = arctan(324/54) ≈ 80.5°

She should set her binoculars to 80.5°.

The price of a notebook was $3.60 yesterday. Today, the price fell to $3.10. Find the percentage decrease. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answers

Answer:

13.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the amount of decrease.

$3.60 - $3.10 = $0.50

The price decreased $0.50.

Now we find what percent $0.50 is of $3.60.

percent = part/whole * 100%

percent = $0.50/$3.60 * 100%

percent = 0.13888 * 100% = 13.9%

Answer: 13.9%

Answers

Answer:

x = 0, x = 1, x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros, let f(x) = 0 , that is

(x - 1)(x(x + 1) + 2x) = 0  ← distribute and simplify parenthesis

(x - 1)(x² + x + 2x) = 0

(x - 1)(x² + 3x) = 0 ← factor out x from the second parenthesis

x(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

Given the circumference of a circle is 8π centimeters, calculate the area of the circle in terms of π.

Answers

Answer:

16π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference = 2πr

Area = πr²

We need to determine r to calculate the area

2πr = 8π

Divide both sides of the equation by 2π to find r

r = 4

Now, we determine area.

area =  πr² =   π4² = 16πcm²

Answer:

[tex]\Large\boxed{\sf{16\pi\text{cm}^2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the circumference of a circle can be used to solve this problem.

[tex]\underline{\text{CIRCLE OF A CIRCUMFERENCE FORMULA:}}[/tex]

[tex]:\Longrightarrow: \sf{C=2\pi r}[/tex]

[tex]\text{AREA:}= \sf{\pi r^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{2\pi r=8 \pi}[/tex]

You have to divide by 2 from both sides.

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{2\pi r }{2}=\dfrac{8\pi}{2} }[/tex]

Solve.

Divde the numbers from left to right.

8/2=4

r=4

[tex]\sf{\pi r^2=\pi4^2}[/tex]

Solve by exponents.

[tex]\sf{4^2=4*4=\boxed{\sf{16}}[/tex]

[tex]\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{16\pi \text{cm}^2}}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is 16πcm².
