Answer:

The height of the telephone pole is 24 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The same rays are falling on the pole and yardstick, so at the same time of day both pole and yardstick have same angle of elevation from the ground.

<em>The height of yard stick is 36 inch and shadow is 15 inch long.</em>

<em>Let the height of pole be "x" , with shadow 10 feet long.</em>

1 feet  = 12 inches

The 2 triangles are similar. Thus,

<em>\frac{x}{36} = \frac{(10)(12)}{15}</em>

<em>x = 288 inches = \frac{288}{12} = 24 feet</em>

Thus, the height of telephone pole is 24 feet.

mr_godi [17]
<span>Answer: Roma Sherry drove 330 miles from her hometown to Tucson. During her return trip, she was able to increase her speed by 11 mph. If her return trip took 1 hour less time, find her original speed and her speed returning home. : Let s = original speed then (s+11) = return speed : Write a time equation: Time = distance%2Fspeed : Original time = return time + 1 hr 330%2Fs = 330%2F%28%28s%2B11%29%29 + 1 : Multiply equation by s(s+11) and you have: 330(s+11) = 330s + s(s+11) : 330s + 3630 = 330s + s^2 + 11s : 0 = 330s - 330s + s^2 + 11s - 3630 : A quadratic equation: s^2 + 11s - 3630 = 0 Factor this to: (s + 66)(s - 55) = 0 Positive solution s = 55 mph is original speed. : Find the time 330/55 = 6 hr, original time and 330/66 = 5 hrs, faster time; confirms our solution.</span>

A die is rolled 20 times. given that three of the rolls came up 1, five came up 2, four came up 3, two came up 4, three came up
Serjik [45]

Solution:

Number of times a die is rolled = 20

1 - 3=A

2 - 5=B

3 - 4=C

4 - 2=D

5 - 3=E

6 -  3=F

Total number of arrangements of outcomes , when a dice is rolled 20 times given that 1 appear 3 times, 2 appears 5 times, 3 appear 4 times, 4 appear 2 times , 5 appear three times, and 6 appear 3 times

            = Arrangement of 6 numbers (A,B,C,D,E,F) in 6! ways and then arranging outcomes

= 6! × [ 3! × 5! × 4!×2!×3!×3!]

= 720 × 6×120×24×72→→[Keep in Mind →n!= n (n-1)(n-2)(n-3)........1]

= 895795200  Ways
