Answer:

The answer to your question is   Tree's height = 26.8 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Person                         Tree

height = 6 ft                 height = x

shadow = 8.5 ft            shadow = 38 ft

Process

1.- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

   Person's height/ Person's shadow = Tree´s height / Tree's shadow

Solve for Tree's height

   Tree's height = Person's height x Tree's shadow / Person's shadow

Substitution

   Tree's height = 6 x 38 / 8.5

Simplification

   Tree's height = 228 / 8.5

Result

    Tree's height = 26.8 ft

F(x)=2x and g(x)=square root of x what is the domain of f(g(x))?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

x\ge 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are:

f(x)=2x


and


g(x)=\sqrt{x}


Now,

f(g(x))=f(\sqrt{x} )


f(g(x))=2\sqrt{x}

The domain refers to values of x for which f(g(x))=2\sqrt{x} is defined.


The  expression under the radical sign must not be negative.

The domain is

x\ge 0

If breadth of a cuboid is one-fourth of its length,height is 5cm and total surface area is 328 cm²,find the length and breadth o
velikii [3]

The length of cuboid is 16 cm and breadth of cuboid is 4 cm.

<h3>How to find the Surface Area of Cuboid?</h3>

A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces. To find the surface area of a cuboid, add the areas of all 6 faces. We can also label the length (L), Breadth (B), and Height (H) of the cuboid and use the formula, SA=2 x ( LB + BH + HL ) , to find the surface area.

Here, We have given that height of the cuboid is 5cm.

Let length of the cuboid = X cm

so, the breadth of the cuboid = \frac{X}{4} cm

also, we have given that total surface area is 328 cm²

Now, put all the values in the formula of Surface Area (SA):

SA = 2 x ( LB + BH + HL )

SA = 2 x ( X²/4 + 5X/4 + 5X )

SA = 2 x ( ( X² + 5X + 20X) / 4 )

SA = ( X² + 5X + 20X ) / 2

X² + 5X + 20X = 328 x 2

X² + 25X = 656

X² + 25X - 656 = 0

using Quadratic Formula: see the attached figure for the formula.

here Discriminant D = b² - 4ac

D = 625 - 4(-656)

D = 3249

on putting value of D or b² - 4ac in the formula we get

X =  ( -25 + 57 ) / 2 and ( -25 - 57 ) /2

length can not be negative so we eliminate the second answer.

now, X = 16 cm

breadth = X /4 = 4 cm

Hence, The length of cuboid is 16 cm and breadth of cuboid is 4 cm.
