Answer:
w = 16.875 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the ratio of the length to width in a full-size cello is approximately 8 to 3.
This will be a constant for all cellos
Using the above we can find out length if we know width and vice versa.
Here we know the length = 45 inches
Since
BY cross multiplication we find that
8w = 3(45)
Or w = 16.875 inches
Verify:
Let us check our answer by comparing with proportion
l/w = 45/16.875 = 8/3
Hence our answer is right

Answer:
The bird has to fly 7.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see diagram in attached image.
Notice that there is a right angle triangle that defines the situation, and you know two elements of such triangle;
1) one acute angle (), and
2) the side opposite to that angle.
What you need to find is the side adjacent to the angle, which is what the bird needs to fly horizontally to be above the fish. We named that "x".
The trig function that relates such triangle elements is the tangent:
which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 7.5 m
