Answer:

169 m

Step-by-step explanation:

See the image below.

Line AB represents the monument and line BC its shadow

Line DB represents the man and Line BE it shadow.

The Sun’s rays are parallel, so AC||DE.

Then ∆ABC ~ ∆DBE

AB:BC::DB:BE

x/65.8 = 1.8/0.7     Multiply both sides by 65.8

       x = 65.6 × 1.8/0.7  

       x = 65.6 × 2.571

       x = 169 m

The height of the Washington monument is 169 m.

Answer:

21:50

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the ratio of 420 m to 1 km.

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

So,

The ratio becomes,

\dfrac{420\ m}{1\ km}=\dfrac{420\ m}{1000\ m}\\\\=\dfrac{42\ m}{100\ m}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{50}

So, the required ratio is 21:50.

fiasKO [112]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Cylinders A and B are similar solids. The base of cylinder A has a circumference of 4π units. The base of cylinder B has an area of 9π units.

The dimensions of cylinder A are multiplied by what factor to produce the corresponding dimensions of cylinder B?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Dimensions of cylinder A are multiplied by \frac{3}{2}  to produce the corresponding dimensions of cylinder B

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Cylinders A and B are similar solids.

The base of cylinder A has a circumference of 4 \pi units

The base of cylinder B has an area of 9 \pi units

Let "x" be the required factor

From given question,

Dimensions of cylinder A are multiplied by what factor to produce the corresponding dimensions of cylinder B

Therefore, we can say,

\text{Dimensions of cylinder A} \times x = \text{Dimensions of cylinder B }

<h3><u>Cylinder A:</u></h3>

The circumference of base of cylinder (circle ) is given as:

C = 2 \pi r

Where "r" is the radius of circle

Given that  base of cylinder A has a circumference of 4 \pi units

Therefore,

4 \pi = 2 \pi r\\\\r = 2

Thus the dimension of cylinder A is radius = 2 units

<h3><u>Cylinder B:</u></h3>

The area of base of cylinder (circle) is given as:

A = \pi r^2

Given that,  the base of cylinder B has an area of 9 \pi units

Therefore,

\pi r^2 = 9 \pi\\\\r^2 = 9\\\\r = 3

Thus the dimension of cylinder B is radius = 3 units

\text{Dimensions of cylinder A} \times x = \text{Dimensions of cylinder B }\\\\2 \times x = 3\\\\x = \frac{3}{2}

Thus dimensions of cylinder A are multiplied by \frac{3}{2}  to produce the corresponding dimensions of cylinder B

This is 7th grade math..........
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay here's my reasoning:

they are telling us that 3 and 5 put together is 8. While this could be either A or D, this question has already told us that it equals 8. This equation is basically more better suited to 8=3+5 because this is show that 8 can be found by putting 3 and 5 together.

Hope this helps!

When a curve and a line meet at a point, are their gradient equal?​
Natali [406]

Check the picture below.

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

well, by the definition of a derivative, the slope at the point is f'(a), and any tangent line going through it will also have the same exact slope, keeping in mind that a straight line has a constant slope.
