An oak tree cast a shadow of 14 feet. A 30 foot flagpole casts a shadow of 60 how tall the Oak tree?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alina [70]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Oak tree = x

14 : x  as  60 : 30

Simplify the right ratio

14 : x  as 2:1

Get the same first number in both ratios by multiplying 2:1 by 7

14 : x  as 2(7) + 1(7)

14 : x as 14 : 7

Since the first number in each ratio is the same, we know that that x and 7 are equal

x = 7

Hope this helps, feel free to let me know if you would like a further explanation :)

The perimeter of a triangle is 47 feet. One side of the triangle is one foot longer than the second side. The third side is four
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The lengths of all three sides (in feet) are = 15, 14, and 18 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of Triangle = 47ft

Let the one side be 'x'

<em>Side 1 = x</em>

One side of the triangle is one foot longer than the second side

<em>Side 2 = x - 1</em>

<em>The third side is four feet longer than the second side</em>

<em>Side 3 = (x - 1) + 4</em>

<em />

<em>Perimeter = sum of all sides</em>

<em>47 = x + (x - 1) + (x - 1) + 4</em>

<em>47 = x + x - 1 + x - 1 + 4</em>

<em>47 = 3x + 2</em>

<em>47 - 2 = 3x</em>

45 = 3x

<u>x = 15</u>

substitute for x in each of the sides

<em>Side 1 = x                   => </em><em>15 feet</em>

<em>Side 2 = x - 1              => 15 - 1 = </em><em>14 feet</em>

<em>Side 3 = (x - 1) + 4      => 14 + 4 = </em><em>18 feet</em>
