Answer: Height of second tree would be 7.27 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of a tree = 12 yards

Length of shadow of tree = 33 yards

If the shadow of tree = 20 yards

Then, we need to find the height of tree.

Since there is direct relation between height of tree and length of its shadow.

So, Let the height of tree in the second case be 'x'.

So, it becomes,

\dfrac{12}{33}=\dfrac{x}{20}\\\\\dfrac{12\times 20}{33}=x\\\\7.27\ yards=x

Hence, height of second tree would be 7.27 yards.

Shadow\ of\ second\ three\ is\\\\
33+20=53\\
Triangles\ made\ of\ three\ and\ shadows\ are\ similar, so\\
Proportion\ of\ length\ of\ shadow:\ \frac{53}{33}\\\\
Height\ will\ be\ on\ the\ same\ proportion\\\\
\frac{x}{12}=\frac{53}{33}\\\\
3x=53*12\\
3x=636\\
x=212\\
Second\ three\ has\ 212\ yards.

Please help me Find a, b, and c
zlopas [31]

Answer:

It is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for b, use the 45-45-90 triangle theorem, in which each of the legs is x, so the legs would be 8. The hypotenuse would therefore be 8√2.

So without further solving the answer is A, since it's the only one with 8√2.

However, I will still solve for A and C. Using the 30-60-90 theorem, we have the sides as x, x√3, and 2x. The second longest side is b. Using this, we find a = 4√6 and c to be 4√2

Follow BEDMAS
</span><span>0=2x+9x-12-(-x+14) 
</span>0=2x+9x-12+x-14
Add like terms
0=11x-12+x-14
0=12x-12-14
0=12x-26
Flip the eqaution
12x-26=0
Move -26 across the equal sign
12x=0+26
12x=26
x=26/12
x=13/6

Hope this helps! A thanks/brainiest answer would be appreciated :)

Farmer Ben has only ducks and cows. He can’t remember how many of each he has, but he doesn’t need to remember because he knows
Maru [420]

Answer:

12 cows - 48 legs

4 ducks- 8 legs

- there are many different numbers you can do but if you want to change the numbers and have more ducks then: for every one cow you take away two more ducks.

Step-by-step explanation:

22 total animals

56 total legs

ducks have 2 legs

cows have 4 legs

12 times 4 = 48 ( 12 cows with 4 legs each cow =  48 legs)

4 times 2 = 8 ( 4 ducks with 2 legs each duck = 8 legs)

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. a. The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit.
vodomira [7]

Answer and explanation:

Discrete random variables can be counted as integers and you can't divide them. Continuous random variables are counted as real numbers and are magnitudes that can´t be counted as an exact number (there will always be an uncertainty in the measurement).

a. The random variable is continuous. Distance is a measurement.

b. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many people are sitting at a computer.

c. The random variable is continuous. Weight is a measurement.

d. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many fishes were caught.

e. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many hints a web site had.
