Answer:

2.5477 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the image attached to understand my solution.

BC = height of lamppost.

DE = Julia

AD = shadow of Julia

BD = 2 feet.      AD = 5 feet

BA = BD + AD

       = 2 + 5 = 7 feet

In ΔABC

tan 20° = \frac{BC}{BA}  = \frac{BC}{7}

BC = 7 * tan 20°

BC = 2.5477 feet

SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013. The farm's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014 and by 5.1% from 2014 to 201
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: Choice D

Explanation:

The increase of 9.8% rounds to 10% when rounding to the nearest ten

An increase of 10% would use the multiplier 1.1

Think of it like saying 1 + 0.10 = 100% + 10%

Similarly, the 5.1% rounds to 5% and an increase of this amount will use the multiplier 1.05

So if we started with 20 items, then 20(1.1)(1.05) is the expression that estimates an increase of 10% followed by an increase of 5%. The order doesn't matter (so you could increase by 5% first, then 10% later).
