What is the approximate height of the tower in meters?

Mathematics

Use similar triangles
distance of man from puddle = 0.5 m.
distance of puddle from tower = 13 - 0.5 = 12.5 meters
so we have 2 similar triangles
one has height 2 m and base 0.5 m and the other has height x m ( the tower) and base 12.5 m

Corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so

2 / x =  0.5 / 12.5

0.5x = 2*12.5 = 25

x = 25 / 0.5 = 50 m

The tower is approx 50 m high.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

2144.66 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The fishbowl is shaped like a sphere the fishbowl has a diameter of 16.

What is the closest value of water in the Fishbowl in cubic inches?

From the any question, we were told to find the closest value of the water in the fishbowl in cubic inches.

This means we are to find the volume.

The volume of a sphere is given as:

4/3πr³

We are given Diameter of the fish bowl = 16 inches

Radius = Diameter/2 = 16 inches/2

= 8 inches

Hence,

Volume of the sphere (Volume of water) = 4/3 × π × 8³

= 2144.66 cubic inches

Help I'm not sure if this is the answer?<br><br> (This question is about trigonometric ratios)
dem82 [27]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (b) 15.32

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use your triangle sense to answer this.

The side x will always be shorter than the hypotenuse, 20. This eliminates the last two choices.

If the angle is 45°, then the sides are equal at about 0.707 times the length of the hypotenuse. That would make them 0.707×20 = 14.14. Since the angle is greater than 45°, the opposite side will be greater than 14.14. Only one answer choice fits between 14 and 20: the second choice -- 15.32.

__

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(50°) = x/20

  x = 20×sin(50°) . . . . multiply by 20 to find x

  x ≈ 15.32 . . . . . . . . . use your calculator to evaluate

__

The attachment is intended to show how the triangle side lengths change with angle.

What equation is graphed in this equation?
jenyasd209 [6]
Y-2=-3/2(x-2)
first of all, the slope of the line is -3/2, and there's only one equation that has that as a choice for the slope. Then you can take the x and y coordinates given in that equation you want to check and see if the line goes through that point. from the equation, (point-slope form y-y=m(x-x)) I know that the line should pass through point (2, -2), and looking at the graph, that is correct.
