Answer: Question #1 The height of the tree is about 18 feet.
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the similar triangles that are drawn. The height of the tree matches the height of the person and the shadows match.
Therefore, we can write and solve the following equation:
x/15 = 5.5/4.5
82.5 = 4.5x
x = 18.33
52 minutes 30 seconds
Take 60 minutes divide it by 8 to figure out what 1/8 of an hour is.
Then multiply our answer by 7 to find out how many minutes are in 7/8 of an hour.
The circumference by definition is given by:
C = 2 * pi * r
Where,
r: radius of the circle.
Substituting values we have:
C = 2 * 3.14 * 16
C = 100.48 feet
Answer:
A measurement that is closest to the circumference of the parachute in feet is:
C = 100.48 feet
40,681.
40,681. 40,681.
40,681.
