If the shadow of a tree is 14 m long and the shadow of a person who is 1.8 m tall is 4 m long, how tall is the tree?

Mathematics

Ratio and proportion

real:shadow

so the person is 1.8m but the shadow is 4m
so
real:shadow=1.8:4

so
1.8:4=?:14
1.8/4=?/14
times both sides by 14
25.2/4=?
6.3=?

the tree is 6.3 m tall

How am i going to break down 14x25x4 using the strategy distributive property
MAVERICK [17]
14 x 25 x 4

= 14 x 100

= 1400

The distributive property isn't required. However, I can solve it using the property...

14 x 25 x 4

= 14 x 100

= (10+4)100

= 1000+400

= 1400

Give an example of a point that is the same distance from (3, 0) as it is from (7, 0). Find lots of examples. Describe the confi
Artist 52 [7]

Supposse that the distance from the point (x,y) to the point (3,0) is equal to the distance from  (x,y) to the point (7,0). Then, by the formula of the distnace we must have

\sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (y-0)^2}=\sqrt{(x-7)^2 + (y-0)^2}

cancel the square root and the (y-0)^2's, and then expand the parenthesis to obtain

x^2 - 6x + 9 = x^2 - 14x + 49

then, simplifying we obtain

8x = 40

therfore we must have

x=5

this means that the points satisfying the propertie must have first component equal to 5. So we can give a lot of examples of such points: (5,0), (5,7),(5,1/2), (5,-10),.... The set of this points give us a straight line and the points (3,0) and (7,0) are symmetric with respect to this line.

A sequence is defined by the function f(n)=f(n-1)+5. Where n represents the number of the term for n>1 and f(1)=-4. What are
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is defined by the function f(n)=f(n-1)+5.

Where n represents the number of the term for n>1

First Put n = 2

f(2)=f(2-1)+5.

    = f (1) + 5

    = -4 + 5

    = 1

Second Put n = 3

f(3)=f(3-1)+5.

    = f (2) + 5

    = 1 + 5

    = 6

Third Put n = 4

f(4)=f(4-1)+5.

    = f (3) + 5

    =  6+ 5

    = 11

Second Put n = 5

f(5)=f(5-1)+5.

    = f (4) + 5

    = 11 + 5

    = 16

Therefore the first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.
