Answer: 366 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First since Nicole is standing right next to the statue of liberty it can be concludes that the ratio of her height to her shadow length is also the same as the ratio of the statue of liberty's height to its shadow length

Labelling the shadow height of the statue of liberty which we are to find by x

The ratio of Nicole's height to her shadow length = 5/6

And the ratio of the statue of liberty's height to its shadow length = 305/x

Equation these two expressions

5/6 = 305/x

Cross multiplying

5x = 305(6)

5x = 18360

Dividing both sides by 5

x = 1830/5

x = 366

So therefore, the length of the shadow of the statue of liberty is 366

A cone has a height 25 ft and a radius of 7 ft. Is a reasonable that the volume of this cone is 100 ft3? Why or why not?​
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius squared is 49 times π, which is roughly 3 means the area of the base is roughly 150 ft².

This means that one third of the height cannot be more than 100 / 150 = 2/3 of a foot. That makes the height about 2 ft, much less than the reported 25 ft.

What is the solution to the equation?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Hello,

answer B

2

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{2}{x} -\dfrac{x}{x+5} =\dfrac{10}{x^2+5x} \\\\we\ suppose\ x\neq 0\ and\ x\neq -5\\\\\text{Reducing to the same denominator}\\\dfrac{2(x+5)-x^2}{x(x+5)} =\dfrac{10}{x^2+5x} \\\\Simplify\ by\ x^2+5x\\\\2x+10-x^2=10\\\\-x^2+2x=0\\\\-x(x-2)=0\\\\roots\ are\ 2 \ and\ 0\ (to\ be\ excluded)\\\\Root=2\\
