Serhud [2]

Answer:

The height of near by tree will be 90 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the water triangle as shown in figure a.

As the old faithful shoots water 60 feet into the air that casts a shadow of 42 feet.

Considering the tree triangle as shown in figure a. The tree triangle has a shadow 63 feet long.

Let x be the height of near by tree that cost a shadow 63 feet long.

Assuming that the triangles are similar

So,

the ratios of similar triangles will be related as:

\frac{63}{42}=\frac{x}{60}

\mathrm{Switch\:sides}

\frac{x}{60}=\frac{63}{42}

{x}=60.\frac{63}{42}

x=90 feet

Therefore, the height of near by tree will be 90 feet.

Keywords: ratio, similar triangle

The ten sides of a regular decagon are colored with five different colors, so that all five colors are used, and sides that are
const2013 [10]

Answer:

  • <u>120</u>

Explanation:

Number the sides of the decagon: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, from top (currently red) clockwise.

  • The side number one can be colored of five different colors (red, orange, blue, green, or yellow): 5
  • The side number two can be colored with four different colors: 4
  • The side number three can be colored with three different colors: 3
  • The side number four can be colored with two different colors: 2
  • The side number five can be colored with the only color left: 1
  • Each of the sides six through ten can be colored with one color, the same as its opposite side: 1

Thus, by the multiplication or fundamental principle of counting, the number of different ways to color the decagon will be:

  • 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 ×1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 120.

Notice that numbering the sides starting from other than the top side is a rotation of the decagon, which would lead to identical coloring decagons, not adding a new way to the number of ways to color the sides of the figure.

A square and a rectangle have equal area.The rectangle is 64 cm by 81 cm. What is the perimeter of the square?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

2592 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

square area = x²

rectangle area = bh

so

x² = bh

since the areas are equal

b and h are in the problem as 64 and 81

x² = 64x81

x² = 5184

divide by 2

x = 2592 cm

Which of the following is the solution to the system of linear equations<br> x=2y + 5 x/3-y=4/3
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

(7, 1)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>

x = 2y + 5

x/3 - y = 4/3

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                              (2y + 5)/3 - y = 4/3
  2. Multiply 3 on both sides:       2y + 5 - 3y = 4
  3. Combine like terms:               -y + 5 = 4
  4. Isolate <em>y</em> term:                         -y = -1
  5. Isolate <em>y</em>:                                  y = 1

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Define:                    x = 2y + 5
  2. Substitute:              x = 2(1) + 5
  3. Multiply:                  x = 2 + 5
  4. Add:                        x = 7

And we have our final answer!
