Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 similar right triangles with legs height and length of shadows.

height of men : length of shadows of the man = height of tree : length of shadows of the tree

5 : 8 = x : 24

8x = 5* 24

x = 5*24/8 = 15 (feet)

Answer:

There is a 54.328% probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance, and Olivia sets up a website where players can buy and sell these costumes online, and information about the number of people who visited. the website and the number of costumes purchased in a single day states that 144 visitors purchased no costume, 182 visitors purchased exactly one costume, and 9 visitors purchased more than one costume, to determine, based on these results, the probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume as a decimal to the nearest hundredth, the following calculation must be performed:

144 + 182 + 9 = 335

335 = 100

182 = X

182 x 100/335 = X

18,200 / 335 = X

54,328 = X

Therefore, there is a 54.328% probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume.

Please help and please show work<br>will give brainlyist

If I am understanding this right, since the <em>c </em>is a variable, you'd have to solve the equation and have the variable in the and result.

the sqrt525^7 = 3359983566.19

So you'd have to simplify this and add the <em>c</em> to the end of it. Unless your work is fractions.

(I take Algebra II I should be more confident on this topic, this is just what makes the most sense)
