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)

2. A soccer field is bordered on three sides by a parking lot of width x. The total
notsponge [240]

Answer: 50m

Step-by-step explanation:

this is the logical way I solved it:

1. Find the area of the entire area thing

300*200=60000

2. Subtract the area of the field from the area of the entire place

60000-30000=30000

3. Divide the area of the parking by three because there are three sides

30000 ÷ 3 = 10000

4. Divide 10000 by 200, not 300 because we want to find the side with one <em>x</em>, not two <em>x</em> (there are two sides adding on to the side with 300, but only one side on the side with 200)

10000÷200= 50

I know the steps are weird, but I know this is the right answer because this was on the unit test (same misspelling and everything lol) and during tutoring my teacher showed me how to do it, but of course I had to forget the steps.

With a little care, you can find the median and the quartiles from the histogram. what are these numbers? you can also find the
coldgirl [10]

Complete Question

The histogram from this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The first quartile is  1st Q = 19^{th} girl (subject ) = 1 \serving\ of\ fruit\ per\ day

The median is   Median  = 38 ^{th} \ girl (subject) =  2 \serving\ of\ fruit\ per\ day

The third quartile  is 3rd Q =  56^{th} \  girl (subject) = 4 \serving\ of\ fruit\ per\ day  

The  mean is  \= x = 2.62

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The total  number of girls is n =  74

Generally the median is mathematically represented as

       Median  =  \frac{\frac{n}{2}  +[ \frac{n}{2} + 1]  }{2}

So

          Median  =  \frac{\frac{74}{2}  +[ \frac{74}{2} + 1]  }{2}

=>         Median  =  \frac{37  +38 }{2}

=>         Median  =37.5 \  girl    

From the histogram 37.5 \approx 38^{th} \ girl fall under 2 fruits per day

Generally the first quartile is mathematically represented as

      1st \ Q =  \frac{\frac{n}{4} + [\frac{n}{4} + 1]  }{2}

=>    1st \ Q =  \frac{\frac{74}{4} + [\frac{74}{4} + 1]  }{2}

=>     1st \ Q = 19 \  girl

From the histogram 19^{th}girl fall under 1 fruit per day

 Generally the third quartile is mathematically represented as

     3rd\  Q =  \frac{\frac{n}{2}  + n }{2}

=>    3rd\  Q =  \frac{\frac{74}{2}  + 74 }{2}

=>    3rd\  Q =  55.5

From the histogram 55.5 \approx 56^{th} \ girl fall under 4 fruits per day

Generally from the histogram table the frequency  [number of subjects (girls) ]  and the servings of fruit per day can be represented as

                                                                                                               Total

x(servings per day )        0     1     2     3     4     5    6     7      8    

f (number of subjects )   15    11   15     11    8     5    3     3      3    \sum f  =  74

xf                                       0    11    30   33   32  25   18   21     24    \sum xf =  194

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

      \= x = \frac{1}{ \sum f}  * [\sum xf]

=>     \= x = \frac{1}{ 74}  *194

=>      \= x = 2.62
