Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.

If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.

Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)

Ratio = 63/105

Reduce to the least fraction

Ratio = 3/5

If the height of the lamppost is H, then

H/144 = 3/5

H = (144 x3)/5

H = 86.4

Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) circumference = diameter*pi

so, pi in circle A =25.12/8=3.14

pi in circle B = 9.42/3 =3.14

b) area of the circle =(diameter/2)^2*pi

so pi in circle A = 50.24/(8/2)^2=3.14

pi in circle B = 3.14

C) both the value of circle A and B are equivalent

The answer is III only, or D. 


We can start to solve this by knowing what the HL theorem means. The HL theorem, like its name implies, shows says that if a hypotenuse and leg of a triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of a different triangle, then the triangles are congruent. The only triangle that we see a hypotenuse congruent in is in figure III. In figure II, those congruent sides are both legs while in figure I we just see 2 congruent angles. Now in figure III, we can also see that two legs are congruent because of the reflexive property. That means that the answer is III, or D.
