<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>

A gas storage tank is in the shape of a right circular cylinder that has a radius of the base of 2ft and a height of 3ft. The fa
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Yes, the farmer have enough paint to complete the​ job.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a gas storage tank is in the shape of a right circular cylinder.

The radius of the base is 2 ft and the height of cylinder is 3 ft.

The total surface area of a cylinder is

S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2

Total surface area of gas storage tank is

S=2\pi (2)(3)+2\pi (2)^2

S=12\pi+8\pi

S=20\pi

S=62.8318530718

S\approx 62.83

The total surface area of gas storage tank is 62.83 square feet.

The farmer has 1 gallon of paint and 1 gallon of paint will cover 162 square​ feet.

Since 62.83<162, therefore 1 gallon of paint is enough to paint the gas storage.

Hence the required statement is Yes, the farmer have enough paint to complete the​ job.

I don't understand e. Please help

Case 1: Probabilities cannot add up to a number greater (or less) than 1. This would mean there is greater than a 100% chance of something happening which just doesn't make sense. 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1,1

Case 2: You cannot have a negative probability. That is claiming that there is a -10% chance of an event happening, there is at the very least a 0%. Despite them "adding" up to 1, the negative probability makes no sense.

Hope I helped!
