I am guessing cindy is standing inside the shadow of the flagpole. So the answer would be 12.5. To answer the question you have to set up proportions. 12.5/5=x/5, so you would cross multiply 12.5 and 5 then 5 and x so 62.5=5x then divide by 5 for 12.5.

I don't want to give you the answer so here is a thorough explanation and an answer if you want it. Set this up as a proportion. Set it up as 5/5=x/12.5. Then multiply 5 by x to get 5x and 12.5 by 5. Once you have this answer, divide it by five to isolate the x. Once you have finished this, you have your answer. 
 
I got the answer 12.5. Make sure you check this so you understand how to solve these kinds of problems.

Solve 4 by 216 raise to minus 2 by 3 + 1 by 256 raise to 3 by 4 + 2 by 243 raise to 1 by 5​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

214....

Step-by-step explanation:

If the question is : solve 4 by 216 raise to minus 2 by 3 + 1 by 256 raise to minus 3 by 4 + 2 by 243 raise to minus 1 by 5​

The given expression can be written as:

4/(216)-2/3+1/(256)-3/4+2/(243)-1/5

This expression has three terms.

Notice that the exponents are negative:

We will change the division into multiplication so that the exponents will become positive;

4*(216)^2/3+ 1*(256)^3/4+ 2*(243)^1/5

If we multiply 6 three times it will give us 6^3=6*6*6=216

If we multiply 4 four  times it will give us 4^4=4*4*4*4=256

If we multiply 3 five times it will give us 3^5=3*3*3*3*3=243

So we will write it as:

=4*(6^3)^2/3+ 1(4^4)3/4 +2(3^5)^1/5

=4(6)^2+(4)^3+2(3)

=4*36+64+6

=144+64+6

=214

The answer is 214....

Your answer is C, 66.73

First, we need to know which trigonometric identify to use, and we can choose tan because we are given the opposite and we’re trying to find the adjacent.

Then, because we know that
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent, we can rearrange this to get adjacent = opposite/tan(angle)

This gives us 34/tan(27) = 66.73

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
