Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A billboard is 27 feet high and casts a 36-foot shadow at noon.

Height of billboard = 27 feet

Height of shadow of billboard = 36 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{27}{36}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75

A fir tree next to the billboard casts a 48-foot shadow.

Height of shadow of fir tree  = 48 foot

\texttt{Height of shadow of fir tree, H = }\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}\times 48

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Sveta_85 [38]

To find the distance between her home and her latest position:

According to the question, the diagram is,

Consider the right triangle,

AB=120 km

BC=50 km

To find AC:

Using Pythagoras theorem,

\begin{gathered} AC^2=AB^2+BC^2_{} \\ =120^2+50^2 \\ =14400+2500 \\ =16900 \\ =130\text{ km} \end{gathered}

Hence, the distance between the new position and her home is 130 km.

2. Solve for x. Round answer to the nearest tenth. *
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

x ≈ 7.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos22° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{8}

Multiply both sides by 8

8 × cos22° = x, thus

x ≈ 7.4 ( to the nearest tenth )

I need help please it’s really hard and I don’t understand it
mr_godi [17]

The line segment HI has length 3<em>x</em> - 5, and IJ has length <em>x</em> - 1.

We're told that HJ has length 7<em>x</em> - 27.

The segment HJ is made up by connecting the segments HI and IJ, so the length of HJ is equal to the sum of the lengths of HI and IJ.

This means we have

7<em>x</em> - 27 = (3<em>x</em> - 5) + (<em>x</em> - 1)

Solve for <em>x</em> :

7<em>x</em> - 27 = (3<em>x</em> + <em>x</em>) + (-5 - 1)

7<em>x</em> - 27 = 4<em>x</em> - 6

7<em>x</em> - 4<em>x</em> = 27 - 6

3<em>x</em> = 21

<em>x</em> = 21/3

<em>x</em> = 7
