The ratio of the height to shadow length is a constant.
.. (5 ft)/(132 ft) = (tree height)/(144 ft)
.. (tree height) = (144 ft)*(5/132) = 5 5/11 ft

. Mr. Donut wants to paint a donut on the wall of his restaurant. The diameter of the outside edge of the donut will be 22 inche
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The area needed to be painted is approximately 301.44 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of a donut is represented by two concentrical circles, whose area is described by the following formula:

A =A_{g}-A_{s} (Eq. 1)

Where:

A - Total area of the donut, measured in squared inches.

A_{g} - Area of the greater circle, measured in square inches.

A_{l} - Area of the lesser circle, measured in square inches.

By using the definition of the area of the circle, we expand the equation above:

A = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}_{ext} - A_{s} (Eq. 1b)

If we know that \pi = 3.14, D_{ext} = 22\,in and A_{s} = 78.5\,in^{2}, the area needed to be painted is:

A = \frac{(3.14)\cdot (22\,in)^{2}}{4}-78.5\,in^{2}

A \approx 301.44\,in^{2}

The area needed to be painted is approximately 301.44 square inches.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

11 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent = Amount deducted/original amount × 100 %

               = 213.84/1944 × 100 %

               = 11.00 %

Paige has 11.00 % of her paycheck deducted for her 401(k).

You find a certain stock that had returns of 8 percent, −3 percent, 12 percent, and 17 percent for four of the last five years.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 8.27 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Average = (Σx)/N

The average is the sum of variables divided by the number of variables.

x = each variable

N = number of variables = 5

Let the unknown percent be y

6 = (8 - 3 + 12 + 17 + y)/5

y = 30 - 34 = - 4

The standard deviation is the square root of variance. And variance is an average of the squared deviations from the mean.

Mathematically,

Standard deviation = σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

x = each variable

xbar = mean = 6 percent

N = number of variables

σ = √[{(8 - 6)² + (-3 - 6)² + (12 - 6)² + (17 - 6)² + (-4 - 6)²}]/(5)]

σ = √[[(2)² + (-9)² + (6)² + (11)² + (-10)²]/(5)]

σ = √[(4 + 81 + 36 + 121 + 100)/(5)] = √(342/5) = 8.27 percent.
