5.25 ft

just divide 20/5 and that equal 4. so to find the height of the man you divide 21 by 4

Answer:

The answer to your question is The man is 5.25 ft height

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Height street light = 21 ft

Shadow street light = 20 ft

Shadow man = 5 ft

height man = ?

Process

1.- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

               \frac{21}{20} = \frac{h}{5}

2.- Solve for h

              h = \frac{5(21)}{20}

3.- Simplify

              h = \frac{105}{20}

4.- Result

              h = 5.25 ft

Amanda [17]

Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate critical z factor

the alpha and the critical z score for a confidence level of 90% is calculated as follows:

two sided alpha = (100% - 90%) / 200 = 0.05

critical z factor for two sided alpha of .05 is calculated as follows:

critical z factor = z factor for (1 - .05) = z factor for (.95) which through the attached graph becomes:

critical z factor = 2.58

Now we have the following formula:

ME = z * (sd / sqrt (N) ^ (1/2))

where ME is the margin of error and is equal to 6, sd is the standard deviation which is 14 and the value of z is 2.58

N the sample size and we want to know it, replacing:

6 = 2.58 * (14 / (N) ^ (1/2))

solving for N we have:

N = (2.58 * 14/6) ^ 2

N = 36.24

Which means that the sample size was 37.

Katen [24]
For this case we have the following equation:
 P (t) = P (1 + r / n) ^ (n * t)
 Where,
 P: initial investment
 r: interest
 n: periods
 t: time
 she will take on her 45th birthday:
 for t = 25:
 P (25) = 1000 * (1 + 0.0165 / 4) ^ (4 * 25)
 P (25) = 1509.31 $
 Answer:
 The future value of this investment when she takes her trip is:
 P (25) = 1509.31 $
