Answer:

The tree is 3.15 meters tall

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shadow of a tree is 7 m long and the shadow of a person who is 0.9 m tall is 2 m long.

The ratio of height of a person to the shadow is 0.9 / 2

Let x be the height of the tree

We need to make a proportion

height of a person/ shadow = height of the tree / shadow

\frac{0.9}{2} =\frac{x}{7}

Cross multiply the numbers

7 * 0.9 = 2x

6.3 = 2x

Divide by 2 on both sides

x= 3.15

The tree is 3.15 meters tall

It takes 4 people 6 days to paint a wall. How many days would it take 12 people
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

There are more than one way to do this:

Here's one way:

The least common multiple of 4 people and 3 people is 12 people.

12 people is 3 times as many people as 4 people, and

12 people is 4 times as many as 3 people.

Since 4 people take 6 days, 3 times as many people take only

one-third as long, or only 2 days. (since 2 is one-third of 6)

Since 3 people is only one-fourth as many people as 12, it will take

them 4 times as long as it would take 12 people, or 8 days. (since

4 times 2 is 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 8 from 12

4 days

An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 1.5 cm and 1 cm long. A second side of t
bagirrra123 [75]
By the angle bisector theorem, one of the lengths of the third side of the triangle is given by:
1.5 / 1 = x / 2.6
x = 1.5 x 2.6 = 3.9
One of the possible length of the third side is 3.9 cm

The other possible length is given by 1 / 1.5 = x / 2.6
1.5x = 2.6
x = 2.6/1.5 = 1.7
The other possible length of the third side is 1.7 cm.
