\frac{height _{1} }{shadow_{1}} =  \frac{height _{2} }{shadow_{2}}

\frac{height _{1} }{27m} = \frac{66cm}{56cm}

\frac{height _{1} }{2700cm} = \frac{66cm}{56cm}

2700*66=56*h _{1}

178200=56h _{1}

3182.1cm=h _{1}

\frac{3182.1cm}{1000cm} = 3.2m

height:3.2m

As long as everything is on level ground with uniform elevation, and everything happens at the same time of day (with the sun at the same height in the sky) ... 

(66cm statue) / (56cm shadow) = (height of tree, meters) / (27m shadow)

Multiply each side of the equation by (27m) :

height of tree = (66 cm) x (27m) / (56cm) = 31.82 meters or <em><u>31.8 meters </u></em>

The coefficient of determination is used to: compute correlations for truncated ranges. compare the relative strength of coeffic
kozerog [31]

Answer: compare the relative strength of coefficients.

Step-by-step explanation: The Coefficient of determination usually denoted as R^2 is obtained by taking the squared value of the correlation Coefficient (R). It's value ranges from 0 to 1 and the value obtained gives the proportion of variation in the dependent variable which could be attributed to it's correlation or relationship to th independent variable. With a R^2 value close to 1, this means a large portion of Variation in a variable A could be explained due to changes in variable B while a low value signifies a low variance between the variables. Hence, the Coefficient of determination is used in comparing the relative strength of the Coefficients in other to establish whether a weak or strong relationship exist.

If V = 40, that makes Y = 40 as well

Angle VWZ =
180 - 40 - 40 = 100

The answer is B. 100

Cell phone companies estimate that the total number of text messages (t) since the beginning of the month can be modeled by t=40
GalinKa [24]

The desired number is the difference between the number of messages sent by the 16th day and the number sent by the 9th day:

... n = t(16) - t(9)

... n = (40×√16) - (40×√9)

... n = 40×(4 - 3) = 40


40 text messages were sent between the ninth and sixteenth day of the month.

The price of a video game was reduced from $60 to $45. By what percentage was the price of the video game reduced?* O 15% O 25%
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The new price, $45, can be expressed as a percentage of $60 by taking it as a fraction of $60, converting to a decimal value, and multiplying by 100%. $45/$60=3/4=0.75, 0.75x100%=75%. So since 100%-75%=25%, the value was reduced by 25%.
