Answer:

The length of the shadow of the second pole is 16.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportional ratio (since the two poles stand side by side).

\frac{height}{shadow} =\frac{height}{shadow}

\frac{4}{11} =\frac{6}{x}

Cross multiply and solve for x (the shadow of the second pole):

4 · x = 11 · 6

4x = 66

x = 66 ÷ 4

x = 16.5 m

A satellite is 19,000 miles from the horizon of Earth. Earth’s radius is about 4,000 miles. Find the approximate distance the sa
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The approximate distance is 15416 miles....

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given:

A satellite is 19,000 miles from the horizon of earth.

The radius is 4,000 miles.

Lets say that BC =x

AO = OB = 4,000 miles

AC = 19,000 miles

The tangent from the external point forms right angle with the radius of the circle.

So in ΔABC

(OC)² = (AC)²+(OA)²

where OC = x+4000

AC = 19,000

OA = 4000

Therefore,

(x+4000)² = (19,000)² +(4,000)²

Take square root at both sides:

√(x+4000)²  = √(19,000)² +(4,000)²

x+4000  =√361000000+16000000

x+4000 = √377000000

x+4000 = 19416.48

x= 19416.48 - 4000

x = 15416.48

Therefore the approximate distance is 15416 miles....

leon charged $75 at an interest rate of 12.5%. How much will leon have to pay after one month if he makes no payments?
Alexeev081 [22]
I believe that the question is assuming this is taking place over one month here is what I think you would do.

1) 75/12.5 = 6
2) add that answer to 75, so 75+6, and you get 81
