Answer:

52.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Light reflects off a mirror at the same angle it hits it at (as shown in the image). Since both triangles are right triangles, we can say they are similar by AA similarity.

Since they're similar, we can write a proportion.

HT / TV = JS / SV

Plugging in values:

5.8 / 4 = JS / 36

JS = 52.2

The wall is 52.2 feet tall.

Jenny's mom is 36 years old. If Jenny's great-grandmother is 90 years old, what percent of Jenny's mother's age is Jenny's great

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The age of Jenny's mom is 40 % of age of Jenny's great-grandmother. (Input: 40)

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage needed is calculated by the following expression:

$x = \frac{n_{M}}{n_{G}}\times 100\,\%$

Where:

$x$ - Percentage of Jenny's mother with respect to Jenny's great-grandmother, measured in percentage.

$n_{M}$ - Age of Jenny's mother, measured in years.

$n_{G}$ - Age of Jenny's great-grandmother, measured in years.

If we know that $n_{M} = 36\,yr$ and $n_{G} = 90\,yr$ , the percentage is:

$x = \frac{36\,yr}{90\,yr} \times 100\,\%$

$x = 40\,\%$

The age of Jenny's mom is 40 % of age of Jenny's great-grandmother.
