20%, I believe. The piece of wood lost 2 ounces of moisture after drying, and 2/10 = 20/100
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
30/35 = (6x-6)/63
210x - 210 = 1890
210x = 2100
x = 10
Answer:
5(2x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The height of the building is 50.75 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio between the height of the object and the casted shadow must be equal for all the objects, as the angle at which the source if light impacts them is the same.
For the person, we know that it is 5.8ft tall, and the shadow is 3.2ft long.
The ratio will be: 5.8ft/3.2ft = 1.8125
Now, if H is the height of the building, and the shadow that the building casts is 28ft, we must have:
H/28ft = 1.8125
Now we can solve this for H.
H = 1.8125*28ft = 50.75 ft
Then the height of the building is 50.75 feet.
