Answer:

176.39 inches or

14.70 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the right triangle made by Kristen, ground and shadow.

This triangle has one leg as 64 inches.

Next consider the right triangle formed by street light, ground upto shadow tip.

The two triangles have common angle of elevation and also another angle as 90 degrees.

Hence the two triangles would be similar

Also if A is the angle made by hypotenuse of both triangles with the ground we have

tanx=\frac{64}{82}

This value also equals by bigger triangle as

tanx=\frac{h}{82+12(12)}=\frac{h}{226}

From these two we get

h = height of street light =\frac{226(64)}{82} =176.39

PLZZ HELPPP!!! Each edge of a wooden cube is 6 centimeters long. The cube has a density of 0.71 g/cm3
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

153.36g

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the ratio of mass per unit volume of a material.

Density = Mass/Volume

Given the edge of a cube which is equivalent to its length L to be 6cm.

Density of the cube = 0.71g/cm³

Volume of the cube = L³

Volume = 6³

Volume of the cube = 216cm³

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass of the cube = 0.71×216

Mass of the cube = 153.36grams

Find the area of the regular polygon. Round to the nearest tenth.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

110.9\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the triangle of the figure is a regular polygon

then

Is an equilateral triangle

Remember that

The equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal interior angles

The measure of each interior angle is 60 degrees

To find the area of the equilateral triangle apply the law of sines

A=\frac{1}{2} b^{2}sin(60\°)

we have that

b=16\ ft

substitute

A=\frac{1}{2} (16^{2})sin(60\°)=110.9\ ft^{2}
