Answer: 25.2361459992ft

This question can be solved by a trigonometric equation. Shadow formed when something with height like a tree, so it can be pictured as a vertical line. Shadow is a length of and can be pictured as a horizontal line.
In trigonometric, to find the vertical line length with horizontal line you need tan function. The sun angle will be used in the function, so the calculation would be: tan(31) x 42ft = 25.2361459992ft

A map has a scale of 5 in. = 15 mi. If you measured the distance between two cities to be 26 in. On the map, how many miles woul

Reil [10]

Answer:

Actual distance between the two cities given on the map = 78.0 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale used for the actual distance between two cities on a map is,

5 in. = 15 mi.

$\frac{5}{15}$ in. = $\frac{15}{15}$ mi.

1 mi. = $\frac{1}{3}$ in.

1 inch = 3 miles

Therefore, 26 inches on the map = 26 × 3

= 78 miles

Therefore, actual distance between the two cities given on the map = 78.0 miles

The equation p=1.5r graphed find price p, in dollars for r pounds of rice

disa [49]

Answer:

Hope that help you mark me brinilylist

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 5 pounds of rice at a store cost $6.50.

Then 1 pound of rice at a store cost = $6.50/5= $1.3

So the equation for the cost can be written as:

C=1.3P just like we write equation y=mx

Now we have to graph the cost C, vs pounds of rice.

Variable for Pounds of rice is not given so let it be "P"

So let's make a table for the number of pounds (P) and cost (C) we can graph the points from that table to get the final graph.

The Attached graph is the final graph.
