Volume of the flour = 2 3/4
Volume of the sugar = 13/8
Volume of the butter = 1/2
Total volume
2 3/4 + 13/8 + 1/2
11/4 + 13/8 + 1/2
(22+13+4) / 8
39 / 8
4 7/8
To solve this problem do this: ( 3 x 5 x 8 ) - ( 2 x 8 ) = 104
First, you need to find the length of the second side. You do this by dividing the area by half the length of the known side
This gives you 14 cm for the unknown side
At this point, you plug the two sides of the triangle into the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(48)^2 + (14)^2 = c^2
2304 + 196 = c^2
2500 = c^2
The square root of 2500 is 50 so the length of the hypotenuse is 50
Set up a ratio with height over shadow height:
40/30 = x/15
Cross multiply:
40 x 15 = 30x
600 = 30x
Divide both sides by 30:
X = 20
The tree is 20 feet tall.
