A six foot man casts a 14 foot shadow. how long is the shadow of a 40 foot tree?

Mathematics

Dafna11 [192]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 93 1/3 ft  shadow of the tree

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using proportions.  We will put the height of the object over the shadow

6ft  man          40 ft tree

------------      =  ---------------

14 ft shadow      x ft shadow

Using cross products

6 * x = 14 * 40

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 14/6 * 40

x = 93.33333(repeating)

x = 93 1/3 ft

Find the angle theta in radians.<br> ( PLEASE SHOW STEPS )
yKpoI14uk [10]
Hello!

As you can see, we have a radius of 6. If we divide, this means that this is 2.5 radians. To convert radians to degrees we use the formula below.

\frac{180}{ \pi }x

First of all we divide 180 by pi.

180/\pi≈57.3

Now we multiply by 2.5

57.3(2.5)=143.25°

Note that the angle we see is obtuse, or greater than 90°.

Therefore, ∠<span>θ</span>≈143.25°

Now we need to convert this back into radians. This can be represented by the equation below.

\frac{ \pi }{180}x

First we divide pi by 180 then multiply by our angle.

\pi/180(143.25)≈2.5

Therefore, our angle theta is about 2.5 radians.

I hope this helps!

Please show your work and explain it.
Maru [420]

Answer:

f(x)=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:

\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\div\dfrac{6x+12}{3x-12}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\times\dfrac{3x-12}{6x+12}\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}

Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:

=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6(x+2))}\\\\

We can now cancel out (x+2)

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6)}

Next we factor out even more:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3)(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)(6)}

We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(1)}{(x-2)(2)}

And we can now simplify it to:

=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

What is the y-coordinate of the point that divides the directed
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

(D)5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point J(-3,1) and K(8,11).

The line segment that divides the segment from J to K in any given ratio can be determined using the formula.

P(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} ,\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

In the given case:

(x_1,y_1)=(-3,1), (x_2,y_2)=(8,11), m:n=2:3

Since we are to determine the y-coordinate of the point that divides JK into a ratio of 2:3, we have:

\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}=\dfrac{2*11+3*1}{3+2}\\\\=\dfrac{22+3}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{25}{5}\\\\=5

The y-coordinate of the point that divides the directed  line segment from J to K into a ratio of 2:3 is 5.

The correct option is D.
