Answer:

48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

AB/FD = BC/DE --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

AB/4 = 36/3

AB = 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

Clare has a set of cubes with a volume of 1 cm³ each. She also has a box with a volume of 24 cm³. Exactly two layers of cubes ca
Damm [24]

Answer:

12 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total volume of the box is 24 cm³ and the volume of each cube is 1 cm³ then that means that 24 total cubes can fit perfectly inside the box. Since there can only be two layers of cubes then we simply need to divide the total amount of cubes that will fit in the box by 2 to find the number of cubes in each layer...

24 / 2 = 12 cubes

Finally, we can see that each layer within the box will contain 12 cubes

A triangle has two sides that measure 4ft. and 3ft. Which could be the measure of the 3rd side?
Aneli [31]
In order to form a triangle, the third side must be at least greater than the difference of the other two sides
4 - 3 = 1 So the third side must be greater than 1 foot and the third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides
4 + 3 = 7 So, the third side must be less than 7

1 < third side < 7
