2/2=1, 4 2/3 divided by 2=

First turn 4 2/3 to improper fraction which is 14/3 and copy dot flip (that’s what I learned) you would do

14/3 divided by 2/1

14/3 x 1/2= 14/6= 2 1/3

1:2 1/3

Hope this helped!!

A 4-foot tall child walks directly away from a 12-foot tall lamppost at 2 mph. How quickly is the length of her shadow increasin

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The length of the shadow is increasing with the rate of 1.5 feet per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB and CD represents the height of the lamppost and child respectively ( shown below )

Also, let E be a point represents the position of child.

In triangles ABE and CDE,

$\angle ABE\cong \angle CDE$ ( right angles )

$\angle AEB\cong \angle CED$ ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

$\triangle ABE\sim \triangle CDE$

∵ Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same proportion,

$\implies \frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{BE}{DE}$

We have, AB = 12 ft, CD = 4 ft, BE = BD + DE = 6 + DE,

$\implies \frac{12}{4}=\frac{6+DE}{DE}$

$12DE = 24 + 4DE$

$8DE = 24$

$DE=3$

Now, the speed of walking = 2 mph = $\frac{2\times 5280}{3600}\approx 2.933\text{ ft per sec}$

Note: 1 mile = 5280 ft, 1 hour = 3600 sec

Thus, the time taken by child to reach at E

$= \frac{\text{Walked distance}}{\text{Walking speed}}$

$=\frac{6}{2.933}$

= 2.045 hours

Hence, the change rate in the length of shadow

$= \frac{\text{Length of shadow}}{\text{Time taken}}$

$=\frac{3}{2.045}$

= 1.5 ft per sec.

the surface area of a cuboid is 95cm² and its lateral surface area is 63cm². find the area of its base

wel

Answer:

The Area of the base is 16 cm² .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The surface area of the cuboid = x = 95 cm²

The lateral surface area of the cuboid = y = 63 cm²

Let The Area of the base = z cm²

Now, Let The length of cuboid = l cm

The breadth of cuboid = b cm

The height of cuboid = h cm

According to question

∵ The surface area of the cuboid = 2 ×(length × breadth + breadth × height + height × length)

Or, x = 2 ×(l × b + b × h + h × l)

Or, 95 = 2 ×(l × b + b × h + h × l)

Or, (l × b + b × h + h × l) = $\dfrac{95}{2}$ ....1

Similarly

∵lateral surface area of the cuboid = 2 ×(breadth × height + length × height)

Or, y = 2 ×(b × h + l × h)

Or, 2 ×(b × h + l × h) = 63

Or, (b × h + l × h) = $\dfrac{63}{2}$ ......2

Putting value of eq 2 into eq 1

so, (l × b + $\dfrac{63}{2}$ ) = $\dfrac{95}{2}$

Or, l × b = $\dfrac{95}{2}$ - $\dfrac{63}{2}$

Or, l × b = $\dfrac{95 - 63}{2}$

i.e l × b = $\dfrac{32}{2}$

so, l × b = 16

Now, Again

∵The Area of the base = ( length × breadth ) cm²

So, z = l × b

i.e z = 16 cm²

So, The Area of the base = z = 16 cm²

Hence,The Area of the base is 16 cm² . Answer
