The percentage of the bags of cement that would weigh less than 50 lbs. would be 50% because the normal distribution is symmetrical, and since the mean is your midpoint, then it would be 50% higher, and 50% lower.
Subtract 3/100 to both sides:
Cross multiply:
Divide 100 to both sides:
Or we could just multiply both sides of the equation by 100, to give us:
Subtract 3 to both sides:
<span>Let the height of tree be denoted as AB and the shadow cast by the tree be BE. ABE is the triangle formed the tree, rays and the ground. Let the height of the person be CD and the length of his shadow be DE. CDE is the triangle formed by the person, rays and the ground.
We have two triangles. Both the person and the tree stand vertically over the horizontal ground, therefore they make 90 degrees with the ground. The angle formed at the ground is the same for the both the triangles. Therefore, by AA similarity the two triangles are similar.
We know that if two triangles are similar, then their sides are proportional.
Therefore,
AB/CD =BE/DE
AB/6 = 143/11
AB= (143/11) *6
AB = 78 ft.</span>
