Question is in image below
A lamppost is 6 feet high and casts and 8 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a flagpole near the lamppost cast a 20 foot shadow. Using the properties of similar triangles, find the height, H, of the flagpole

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that either both objects are standing straight. We can use similar triangles.

We can see that the side 8 is similar to the side 20, since they are both shadows. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

[tex]\frac{6}{8} =\frac{x}{20}[/tex]

we can cross multiply and get:

8x=120

solve for x:

x=15

Therefore, the lamppost must be 15 feet tall (unless it fell down but we won't talk about that)

Based on the information, the triangles share two sides but have one different side. one included angle is bigger than the other.

This means that the triangle with side 2x-4 must be smaller than the triangle with the side 10.

Let first, find it minimum amount. A triangle side must be greater than zero so

[tex]2x - 4 > 0[/tex]

[tex]2x > 4[/tex]

[tex]x > 2[/tex]

The triangle side must be smaller than 10.

[tex]2x - 4 < 10[/tex]

[tex]2x < 14[/tex]

[tex]x < 7[/tex]

So x must be greater than 2 but must be smaller than 7.

Answer:

C. 12, 8, 5

Step-by-step explanation:Side lengths of any triangle must conform to the triangle inequality theorem, which says that the sum of the lengths of any of the two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

This means:

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

Let's check each of the options to see which set are possible lengths for a triangle:

A. 6, 5, 11

6 + 11 > 5 ===> 17 > 5

5 + 11 > 6 ===> 16 > 6

6 + 5 > 11 ===> 11 > 11 (INCORRECT. Does not confirm to tye theorem)

Therefore, this set cannot be possible side lengths for a triangle.

B. 8, 1, 2

8 + 1 > 2 ===> 9 > 2

1 + 2 > 8 ===> 3 > 8 (INCORRECT)

8 + 2 > 1 ===> 10 > 1

This set cannot be possible side lengths for a triangle.

C. 12, 8, 5

12 + 8 > 5 ===> 20 > 5

8 + 5 > 12 ===> 13 > 12

12 + 5 > 8 ===> 17 > 8

All are correct, therefore these are possible side lengths for a triangle.

feet and the height is 50 feet?

Answers

The answer is : 10416.67ft^3

Answer:

10417 cubic units (to nearest unit)

Step-by-step explanation:

A formula for the volume of pyramids (and cones--"pointy" things) is one-third times the area of the base times the height.

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}Bh[/tex]  where  B  is the area of the base.

What is the misconception if a student selects D) 27?

A)3
B)4
C)11
D) 27

Answers

Answer:

A) 3

Pippa kept 3 stickers for herself

Answer to question 2:

The misconception of if a student selects D) 27 is that instead of dividing to find out how many stickers Pippa kept for herself, the student subtracted. They subtracted instead of dividing.

Step-by-step explanation:

It said that Pippa gave each of her friends an EQUAL number of stickers and AS MANY STICKERS AS POSSIBLE. This tells us that to find our answer we need to divide and what ever the remainder is, is how many stickers Pippa kept for herself.

(You will kind of need to do long division for this)

35 ÷ 8 = 4

8 x 4 = 32

35 - 32 = 3

Pippa will give each of her friends 4 stickers and will keep 3 for herself.

Step-by-step explanation for question 2:

35 stickers - 8 friends = 27

D) 27 is the wrong answer to question 1/part 1

Answer:

  B) False

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles are similar when their angles are the same measures. Because the angles sum to 180°, we only need to show that 2 angles of one triangle are equal to 2 angles of the other triangle.

All three of the angles of the first triangle are given: 20°, 40°, 120°.

One of the angles of the second triangle matches: 40°; but the other angle (80°) doesn't match either of 20° or 120°.

The angles aren't the same, so the triangles are not similar.

__

If we want to go to the trouble, we can figure the third angle of the second triangle. It is 180° -40° -80° = 60°.

Then the angles in the two triangles, listed smallest to largest, are ...

  20°, 40°, 120°

  40°, 60°, 80°

It is clear the angles of these triangles are not the same.

You measure 49 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 80 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 6.1 ounces. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight is between 77.76 and 82.24 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a p-value of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{6.1}{\sqrt{49}} = 2.24[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 80 - 2.24 = 77.76 ounces.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 80 + 2.24 = 82.24 ounces.

The 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight is between 77.76 and 82.24 ounces.

A newspaper advertisement offers a $9,000 car for nothing down and for 36 easy monthly payments of $317.50 what is the simple interest rate?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = simple interest rate

Divide both sides by 250

250x/250 = 317.5/250

x = 1.27
