Answer:

x m tall                     10 m tall

---------------          = ------------

140 m shadow           4 m shadow

The height of the Stratosphere Tower is 350 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Put the height of the object over the length of the shadow.

x m tall                     10 m tall

---------------          = ------------

140 m shadow           4 m shadow


Using cross products

x*4 = 10 * 140

4x =1400

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 1400/4

x =350

The height of the Stratosphere Tower is 350 m

Is 2750 a reasonable answer for 917 x 33?
Sever21 [200]

No,  2750 is a sadly unreasonable estimate.

917 is almost 1,000 .

33 times as much is around 30,000 .

2,750 is less than 3,000 .

ELEN [110]

From an absolute value inequality, we have that:

  • The minimum diameter is 6.46 mm.
  • The maximum diameter is 6.54 mm.

  • The absolute value measures the <u>distance of a point or a function to the origin</u>.
  • One example of inequality is:

|f(x)| \leq a

Which has solution:

-a \leq f(x) \leq a

In this problem:

  • Bolts with a diameter of 6.5 mm, with a tolerance of 0.04 mm, thus the <u>absolute value of the difference of the diameter D and 6.5 has to be of at most 0.04</u>, that is:

|D - 6.5| \leq 0.04

Applying the solution:

-0.04 \leq D - 6.5 \leq 0.04

-0.04 \leq D - 6.5

D - 6.5 \geq -0.04

D \geq 6.46

\leq D - 6.5 \leq 0.04

D \leq 6.54

  • The minimum diameter is 6.46 mm.
  • The maximum diameter is 6.54 mm.
