The shadow cast by a television tower is 171 ft 10 in. A pole that is stuck in the ground nearby has 2 ft sticking above the ground and casts a shadow that is 6 ft 3 in. in length. Based on this information, how high is the television tower?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the height is 54.99 ft or 659.84 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sides of similar triangles are proportional, so we can write:

2 ft / 6 ft 3 in = x / 171 ft 10 in

Now what we must do first and pass everything to the same unit of measurement:

Knowing that 1 foot equals 12 inches:

6 ft 3 in = 6 ft * 12 in / ft + 3 in = 72 + 3 = 75 in

171 ft 10 in = 171 ft * 12 in / ft + 10 in = 2052 + 10 = 2062 in

2 ft = 2 ft * 12 in / ft = 24 in

replacing:

24 in / 75 in = x / 2062 in

x = 24 * 2062/75

x = 659.84 in

Or they would also be 659.84 in * 1 ft / 12 in = 54.99 ft

That is, the height is 54.99 ft or 659.84 in

Answers

Answer:

loose sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the price of the pre-packed and loose candy per gram, since they specified that you need to calculate the price per gram.

A better value would mean that the price is lower per gram.

pre-packed candies

120g ----- £1.49

1 ----- 1.49 ÷120= £0.0124 (3 s.f.)

loose sweets

100g ----- £0.89

1g ----- £0.89 ÷100= £0.0089

since £0.0089 < £0.0124, the loose sweets cost lesser per gram and thus is a better value.

~ Loose sweets

~ 1.49 / 120 = £0.0124

~ 89p /100 = £0.0089

£0.0089 is less than £0.0124

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

On a number line, a number, b, is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction. The
number b varies directly with the number a. For example b = 2 when a = -2. Which equation represents this direct
variation between a and b?
b = -a
-b= -a
b - a = 0
b(-a)=0​

Answers

Answer:

b=-a

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that b is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction.

so the sum of the two numbers equal zero

a+b=0

a=-b or b=-a

The mileages of cars in a fleet of cars are normally distributed with a mean mileage of 52,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2,000 miles. What is the probability of randomly selecting a car with a mileage less than 52,000 miles?

Answers

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean is 52000 miles (m) and the standard deviation is 2000 miles (sd), so we are asked:

P (x <52000)

P ((x - m) / sd <(52000 -52000) /2)

P (z <0)

If we look in the normal distribution table we have to:

P (x <52000) = 0.5

That is, the probability is of randomly selecting a car with a mileage less than 52,000 miles 50%

Which is greater 15/27 or 16/24

Answers

Answer:

16/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let’s use the GCF of both which is 3 for 15/27

15/27 divided by 3 is 5/9

for 16/24 the gcf is 8

16/24 / 8 is 2/3

now we have to multiply 2/3 times 3

2/3 times 3 6/3 which is 2

so 16/24 is greater.

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find DC

c²=a²+b² (pythagorean theory)

c²=6²+8²

c²=36+64. c²=100. √100. c=10cm

thus D =10.

AD= 15-6=9

To find AC

c²=a²+b²

c²=15²+8²

c²=225+64. c²=289 √289. c=17

AC=17

perimeter is the distance around a figure thus ADC=9+10+17

=36

Answers

these patterns are similar because in both the number of dots are increasing. they are different because the pattern in the first one is adding 2 each step, while in the second one you are taking the starting amount, multiplying it by 2 then adding 1. to find the number of dots for step 5 you would add 2 in the first pattern, in the second pattern multiply by 2 add 1.

Which equation is equivalent to 2^4x = 8^x-3?

Answers

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

2^4x = 8^x-3

writing 8 as 2^3

2^4x = 2^3^x-3

We know a^b^c = a^(b*c)

2^4x = 2^(2*(x-3))

2^4x = 2^(2x-6)

The bases are the same so the exponents are the same

4x = 2x-6

Subtract 2x from each side

4x-2x= 2x-6-2x

2x=- 6

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -6/2

x = -3
