Height of another tree that cast a shadow which is 20ft long is 5 feet approximately

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

Given that tree with a height of 4 ft casts a shadow 15ft long on the ground

Another tree that cast a shadow which is 20ft long

<em><u>To find: height of another tree</u></em>

We can solve this by setting up a ratio comparing the height of the tree to the height of the another tree and shadow of the tree to the shadow of the another tree

\frac{\text {height of tree}}{\text {length of shadow}}

Let us assume,

Height of tree = H_t = 4 feet

Length of shadow of tree = L_t = 15 feet

Height of another tree = H_a

Length of shadow of another tree = L_a = 20 feet

Set up a proportion comparing the height of each object to the length of the shadow,

\frac{\text {height of tree}}{\text {length of shadow of tree}}=\frac{\text { height of another tree }}{\text { length of shadow of another tree }}

\frac{H_{t}}{L_{t}}=\frac{H_{a}}{L_{a}}

Substituting the values we get,

\frac{4}{15} = \frac{H_a}{20}\\\\H_a = \frac{4}{15} \times 20\\\\H_a = 5.33

So the height of another tree is 5 feet approximately

Elis [28]
First divide 29.79 feet by 6
\frac{29.79}{6} = 4.97
But since you can't plant only a fraction of a tree, you can plant a maximum of 4 trees per row.
Now there are ten rows so...
10×4 = 40
You can plant 40 trees at the maximum.

Rewrite each of the following statements in the form "∀ _____ x, _____." (a) All dinosaurs are extinct. ∀ x, . (b) Every real nu
jasenka [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, we have to replace "quantifier words" like "All", "Every" by the universal quantifier ∀.

a) ∀ dinosaur x, x is extinct.

b) ∀ real number x, x is positive, negative, or zero.

c) ∀ irrational number x, x is not an integer.

d) ∀ logician x, x is not lazy.

e) ∀ integer x, x²≠ 2,147,581,953.

f)  ∀ real number x, x²≠ -1.

In a) and b) we replace the words without major changes. In the other statements, we modify the statement using negation. For example, "No irrational numbers are integers." is equivalent to "Every irrational number is not integer".
