Answer:

28.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a tree 41.8 feet tall casts a shadow that is 27 feet long

So the Tangent of the angle of the sahdow remains the same for the both trees.

We know that  Tanx=\frac{height of the tree}{length of the shadow}

\frac{height of the tree1}{length of the shadow1} = \frac{height of the tree2}{length of the shadow2}

\frac{41.8}{27} =\frac{x}{18.3}

x=\frac{41.8}{27}\times18.3 =28.3

Therefore the height of the tree is 28.3 feet

Please help with geometry
Margarita [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) gradient= y2-y1/x2-x1

gradient of AB:

gradient=-4-1/2-3

=-5/-1

=5

gradient of BC:

=-5+4/7-2

=-1/5

b) as the priduct of both gradient is -1 ,both lines are perpendicular.

c) as we have seen lines are perpendicular so it is a right angled triangle.

14 kg of apples cost $154.how much would 16kg cost
ankoles [38]
We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.

On a map, 2 cm represents 30 mi. The actual distance between two towns
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

<h2>5 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

Given that the scale of the map is

 2cm to represent 30 miles

That is  every 1 cm is 15 miles in reality

step one:

what we are solving for is the distance in cm on the map so,

1cm rep 15miles

xcm rep 75miles

cross multiply

Xcm= 75/15

X= 5 cm

hence on the map 75miles distance between the two towns is seen as 5 cm
