Answer:
27.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.
34 : 30
Find the unit rate:
The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.
Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
34 : 30
/30 /30
1.13 : 1
Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.
Multiply:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
1.13 : 1
x24 x24
27.2 : 24
Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
Answer:
When finding for the area of a square ,the lenght will be squared automatically leading to a greater value which is greater that of the rectangle which is length multipled by Width
Answer:
SY = 16
XY = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
15/20 = 12/SY
15SY = 240
SY = 16
15/20 = 9/XY
15XY = 180
XY = 12
6 x 270= 1,620
I hope this helped
Wow this is a doozy! First you have to figure out what is it you are looking for? If you make a dot in the center of the triangle (which is also the center of the circle) and draw a line from the center to one of the vertices of the triangle you have the radius of the triangle and also of the circle. If you draw all 3 radii from the triangle's center to its vertices, you see you have created 3 triangles within that one triangle. The trick here is to figure out what your triangle measures are as far as angles go. If we take the interior measures of those 3 triangles, we get that each one has a measure of 120 (360/3=120). So that's one of your angles, the one across from the side measuring 6. Because of the Isosceles Triangle theorem, we know that the 2 base angles have the same measure because the sides are the same. Subtracting 120 from 180 gives you 60 which, divided in half, makes each of those remaining angles measure 30 degrees. So if we extract that one triangle from the big one, we have a triangle with angles that measure 30-30-120, with the base measuring 6 and each of the other sides measuring 5. If we then split that triangle into 2 right triangles, we have one right triangle with measures 30-60-90. Dropping that altitude to create 2 right triangles not only split the 120 degree angle at the top in half, it also split the base side of 6 in half. So our right triangle has a base of 3 and we are looking for the hypotenuse of that right triangle. WE have to use right triangle trig for that. Since we have the top angle of 60 and the base of 3, we can use sin60=3/x. Solving for x we have x=3/sin60 which gives us an x value of 3.5 inches rounded from 3.464. I'm not sure what you mean by a mixed number unless you mean a decimal, but that's the radius of that circle.
