Answer:

112.81 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pole and the tower and their shadows form 2 similar triangles so their corresponding sides are in the smae ratio.

Therefore we have the relation:

1.21 / 48.75 = 2.8 / x   where x is the height of the tower.

Cross multiplying:

x = 2.8 * 48.75 / 1.21

= 112.81 m

Solve the following system
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

{x = -4 , y = 2 ,  z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{-2 x + y + 2 z = 12 | (equation 1)

2 x - 4 y + z = -15 | (equation 2)

y + 4 z = 6 | (equation 3)

Add equation 1 to equation 2:

{-(2 x) + y + 2 z = 12 | (equation 1)

0 x - 3 y + 3 z = -3 | (equation 2)

0 x+y + 4 z = 6 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 2 by 3:

{-(2 x) + y + 2 z = 12 | (equation 1)

0 x - y + z = -1 | (equation 2)

0 x+y + 4 z = 6 | (equation 3)

Add equation 2 to equation 3:

{-(2 x) + y + 2 z = 12 | (equation 1)

0 x - y + z = -1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+5 z = 5 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 3 by 5:

{-(2 x) + y + 2 z = 12 | (equation 1)

0 x - y + z = -1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 1 | (equation 3)

Subtract equation 3 from equation 2:

{-(2 x) + y + 2 z = 12 | (equation 1)

0 x - y+0 z = -2 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 1 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:

{-(2 x) + y + 2 z = 12 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 2 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 1 | (equation 3)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-(2 x) + 0 y+2 z = 10 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 2 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 1 | (equation 3)

Subtract 2 × (equation 3) from equation 1:

{-(2 x)+0 y+0 z = 8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 2 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 1 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 1 by -2:

{x+0 y+0 z = -4 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 2 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 1 | (equation 3)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = -4 , y = 2 ,  z = 1

\large\underline{  \boxed{ \sf{✰\:Important\: point's }}}

  • ➣ Circle:- A two-dimensional geometric figure, a line, consisting of the set of all those points in a plane that are equally distant from a given point (center).
  • ➣ Circumference:- The line that bounds a circle or other two-dimensional figure

★ also circumference of a circle is also known as it's perimeter

  • ➣To find circumference of circle when use formula

{ \boxed{✜\underline{  \boxed{ \sf{\: Circumference \:  of  \: circle= \: 2\pi \: r}}}✜}}

  • ➢ r = radius (25inch.)
  • ➢ value of π is 3.14

{ \rule{70mm}{2.9pt}}

\large\underline{  \boxed{ \sf{✰\: Let's\:solve }}}

\sf{➛ \: Circumference  \: of  \: circle = 2 \times 3.14 \times 25} \\ \sf{➛ \: Circumference  \: of  \: circle =2 \times 78.5} \\ \sf{➛ \: Circumference  \: of  \: circle =157inch}

★ Hence circumference of circle=157inch
