From the picture, we can see that ΔLSP and ΔLRN are similar, so corresponding sides are proportionate:
LN : LP = 28:12 = 7:3
Therefore, the LRN sides is 7/3 of the corresponding side of LSP.
Then, it states that the area of LSP = 50, and area of a triangle is (1/2)bh, so we set up the equation
Area of LSP = (1/2)bh = 50 ← Remember how the corresponding sides are 7/3 of LSP? Therefore, the area of LRN:
LRN = (1/2)(7b/3)(7h/3) ← Take out the 7/3 and multiply them together
= (49/9)(1/2)bh ← From LSP, we know that (1/2)bh = 50, so plug that in
= (49/9)*50 ≈ 272.222 units ²
I basically pick a couple random numbers for both variables and plug them in to see if they are true.
Answer: Tthe tower is 129 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to trigonometry in a right triangle:
Let x be the height of the tower.
Given , 
Since tower stands vertical to the ground, that means it is making a right triangle with the shadow.

Answer:
16 bags for the first(30% pure) and 64 bags of the second(80% pure)
Step-by-step explanation:
If they are mixed in a ratio of x bags to y bags
(0.3x+0.8y)/(x+y) = 0.7
0.3x + 0.8y = 0.7(x+y)
Multiply both sides with 10
3x + 8y = 7(x+y)
4x = y ——(1)
x + y = 80 ——(2)
Solve simultaneously
x + 4x = 80
5x = 80
x = 16 bags
y = 4x = 64 bags
