If you draw out the diagram, you should have a right triangle, where the height of the triangle is how tall the tower is ( x ), the base is the length of the shadow (11), and the distance from the top of the tower to the end of the shadow is the hypotenuse (61). 

the pythagoreon theorem states that for any right triangle:
a² + b² = c² 

a is side 1, b is side 2, and c is the hypotenuse. 
Knowing this, we can plug in the values 11 and 61. 

11² + b² = 61²
121 + b² = 3721
b² = 3600
b = 60 

The tower is 60 feet tall.

olasank [31]

Given :

Abraham has visited 10 countries already. He has a goal of visiting at least 50 countries.

He plans to achieve this goal by visiting 5 new countries per year (y) for the next several years.

To Find :

Which inequality and solution shows the amount of years that it will take for Abraham to meet his goal.

Solution :

Let, after x years Abraham visited y countries.

It is mathematically given as :

10 + 5x=y

Now, it is given that his goal is minimum of 50 countries.

So,

10+5x \ge 50\\\\5x\ge 40\\\\x \ge 8

Therefore, minimum years required to meet his goals are 8.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Lakima has a spinner divided into 5 equal sections that are labeled 1 though 5. She wants to compare the theoretical probability
Scrat [10]

Using probability concepts, it is found that:

  • The theoretical probability of spinning an odd number is equal to 3/5 = 0.6.
  • The experimental probability of spinning an odd number is equal to 1/2 = 0.5.
  • Therefore, the theoretical probability of spinning an odd number is greater than the experimental probability of spinning an odd number.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

A theoretical probability is calculated without considering experiments, and we have that 3 out of the 5 numbers(1,3,5) and are odd, hence the theoretical probability is given by:

pT = 3/5 = 0.6.

For an experimental probability, we consider the experiments. Of the 6 spins, 3 resulted in an odd number, hence the experimental probability is given by:

p = 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5.

Therefore, the theoretical probability of spinning an odd number is greater than the experimental probability of spinning an odd number.
