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

A computer system requires that passwords contain at least one digit. if eight characters are generated at random, and each is e

KIM [24]

Figure this out as though no digits are present. You can choose 8 of the 26 letters and that's it.
26^8 [you can allow repeating letters] = 2.088 * 10^11
The total number of ways that can be chosen with letters and digits intermixed = 36^8

The probability of getting no numbers is 26^8 / 36^8 or (26/36)^8 = 0.07402
So the probability that there were be at least one digit is
1 - 0.07402 = 0.92598
