The concept useful in finding the answer to this item is ratio and proportion, the ratio of the height of your friend with the shadow casted should be proportional to the height of the rock with the length of the shadow it cast. That is,
                       5.5 ft / 18 ft = x ft/ 209.5 ft
The value of x from the equation above is 64 ft.

Answer:

To the nearest feet, the rock is 64 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the friend = 5.5 feet

Height of friend's shadow = 18 feet

Height of the rock's shadow = 209.5 feet

Let the height of the rock be = x

We can represent this situation is ratio form.

\frac{5.5}{18}= \frac{x}{209.5}

=> 18x=209.5\times5.5

=> 18x=1152.25

=> x=64.01

So, to the nearest feet, the rock is 64 feet tall.

The volume of a sphere is 32 3 π cubic centimeters. What is the radius? Sphere V = 4 3 πr3
allsm [11]

Answer:

To solve for the volume of a sphere, you must first know the equation for the volume of a sphere.

V=43(π)(r3)

In this equation, r is equal to the radius. We can plug the given radius from the question into the equation for r.

V=43(π)(123)

Now we simply solve for V.

V=43(π)(1728)

V=(π)(2304)=2304π

Answer is 2304

The three sides of a triangle are n, 3n+3, and 2n+11. If the perimeter of the triangle is 50 inches, what is the length of each
mylen [45]

Answer:

6, 21, and 23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of all side lengths in that triangle. We're given the perimeter as 50 inches, and the side lengths as n, 3n + 3, and 2n + 11.

  • This means that we can algebraically solve the equation n + 3n + 3 + 2n + 11 = 50

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (n+3n+2n) + (3+11) = 50
  • 6n + 14 = 50

Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

  • 6n + 14 - 14 = 50 - 14
  • 6n = 36

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

  • 6n/6 = 36/6
  • n = 6

Step 4: Plug in the value of n as 6 in each side.

  • (6) + (3(6) + 3) + (2(6)+11) = 50
  • (6) + (18+3) + (12+11) = 50
  • (6) + (21) + (23) = 50  

Therefore, the side lengths are 6, 21, and 23 inches.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

Explain how you can tell whether the sum of two integers is positive or negative, before adding them.
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The sum of any integer and its opposite is equal to zero. adding two negative integers always yields a negative sum. To find the sum of a positive and a negative integer, take the absolute value of each integer and then subtract these values.
