7-foot
EXPLANAT
Given:
14 foot tree
8foot shadow
4foot shadow
Let h be the height of a tee that casts a 4 foot long shadow.
Using proportion;
14 foot = 8 ft shadow
h = 4 ft shadow
Cross - multiply
8h = 56
Divide both-side by 8
h = 7 foot.
Hence, the tree is 7-foot.
36 and 48
a = b+12
a+b = 84
(b+12) + b =84
2b +12 = 84
2b = 72
b= 36
a = b + 12
a = 36 + 12
a = 48
Y = 54.
This is really complicated to explain, but since x is 36 and the angle on the other side of the known angle is also 36, that makes y 54. Each pair of angles has to equal to 90 degrees.
Hope this helps!
The 5 values needed are:
Min, Q1, Q2, Q3, Max
Order the data:
2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 12, 17, 18
Min= 2, Q1= 3.5, Q2=10, Q3= 14.5, Max=18
A pentagon gas 5 sides. Therefore multiply the length of one side by 5.
921x5=4605 feet
