At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.
Therefore, in figure,
--- (1)
where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.
From the given information,
BC = 36 feet
FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet
(1) becomes
AB = 48
Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.
Answer: 0.0475
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = random variable that represents the number of a particular type of bacteria in samples of 1 milliliter (ml) of drinking water, such that X is normally distributed.
Given:
The probability that a given 1-ml will contain more than 100 bacteria will be:
∴The probability that a given 1-ml will contain more than 100 bacteria
0.0475.
Answer:
V' = -0.11552 *V\\= -0.11552(1.8)\\ \\=-0.20794 million per year
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 million barrels of oil in the well; six years later 1,500,000 barrels remain.
i.e. if V stands for volume of oil, then
To find A and k
V(0) = A = 3 million
Hence V =
V(6) = 1.5
i.e.
a) Using the above value of k , we have
million per year.
