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 volume V of a cone varies jointly as the area of the base B and the height
seraphim [82]

Answer:

h = 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

V = kBh   where k is the constant of variation.

From the given info:

32 = k*16*6 = 96k

So k = 32/96 = 1/3.

So we have the equation of variation:

V = 1/3Bh

When V = 60 B = 20, so:

60 = 1/3 20h

20h = 60 * 3 = 180

h = 180 /20 = 9.

Towns X, Y, and Z are on the same straight road. Town Y is between Town X and Town Z. Town X is 57 miles from Town Z, and Town Y
Ray Of Light [21]
The distance between town X and Town Y is equal to the difference between the distance between Town X and Town Z and the distance from Town Y and Town Z. Mathematically
                      d (X-Y) = d (X-Z) - d(Y-Z)
Substituting,
                      d(X-Y) = 57 miles - 28 miles = 29 miles
Thus, the distance from Town X to Town Y is 29 miles.
