\text{A person who is 70 inches tall cast a shadow that is 54 inches long. }\\
\text{We need to find the length of the tree that casts a shadow that }\\
\text{is 28 feet long at the same time}.\\
\text{for that we use the ratio. Let the length of the tree be x feet.}\\
\\
\text{so using ratio, we have}\\
\\
\frac{70}{54}=\frac{x}{28}\\
\\
\text{on cross multiplying, we get}

70\times 28=54\times x\\
\\
\Rightarrow 1960=54x\\
\\
\text{now divide both sides by 54, we get}\\
\\
\frac{1960}{54}=\frac{54x}{54}\\
\\
\Rightarrow 36.29=x

Hence the height of the tree to the nearest foot is: 36 feet

Hence option (3) is correct.

The sum of four consecutive integers is 166. Find the largest of the numbers if the smallest is z.
hjlf
4 consecutive integers...z, z + 1, z + 2, z + 3

z + (z + 1) + (z + 2) + (z + 3) = 166...combine like terms
4z + 6 = 166
4z = 166 - 6
4z = 160
z = 160/4
z = 40

z + 1 = 40 + 1 = 41
z + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
z + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43

so ur numbers are : 40,41,42,43 with the largest being 43

How do you find the missing height of a triangle?
g100num [7]

Answer:

Use the Pythagorean theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem is a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} where a is a height, b is a height, and c is the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of a triangle. For example, if the triangle has two side with lengths of three and four we would put them into the equation to get:

3^{2} +4^{2} =c^{2}

Simplify the equation to get:

9+16=c^2

Add 16 and 9 to get 25 and take the square root of both sides:

\sqrt{25} =c

The sqrt of 25 is 5. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse, or c, is 5.
