Answer:

Height of a cell tower is, 30 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

As per the given statement:

Let height of a cell tower be h.

Height of a pole = 3m ,

Shadow of a pole = 4 m and

shadow of a cell tower = 36+4 = 40 m

By definition of proportion;

$\frac{\text{Height of a cell tower}}{\text{Shadow of a cell tower}} = \frac{\text{Height of a pole}}{\text{Shadow of a pole}}$

Substitute the given values we get;

$\frac{h}{40}=\frac{3}{4}$

by cross multiply we get;

$4h = 120$

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

h = 30 m

Therefore, the height of a cell tower is, 30 m

the ratio of the length to the width of a rectangle is 8:3 if the rectangle is 32 cm wide, how long is it?

Charra [1.4K]

I think it's;

Ratio of areas = 8:3

Wideness of the the shape = 32 cm

8:3 = 32:X

8/3 = 32/x

x = 8*3/32

= 0.75

What is the solution of -8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

Mnenie [13.5K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The solution of the given equation is:

y=6

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The expression is given by:

$\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16}$

Now on solving for the given equation

$\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{(y-4)(y+4)}$

since,

$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\so,\\\\y^2-16=y^2-4^2\\\\i.e.\\\\y^2-16=(y-4)(y+4)$

Hence, we get:

$\dfrac{-4}{y-4}=\dfrac{5\times (y-4)-(7y+8)}{(y+4)(y-4)}\\\\i.e.\\\\\dfrac{-4}{y-4}=\dfrac{5y-20-7y-8}{(y-4)(y+4)}$

$-4\times (y-4)(y+4)=(-2y-28)(y-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\(y-4)(-4\times (y+4))=(-2y-28)(y-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\(y-4)(-4y+16)=(-2y-28)(y-4)\\\\i.e.$

$(y-4)(-4y+16)-(-2y-28)(y-4)=0\\\\i.e.\\\\(y-4)(-4y-16+2y+28)=0\\\\i.e.\\\\(y-4)(-2y+12)=0\\\\i.e.$

$y-4=0\ or\ -2y+12=0\\\\i.e.\\\\y=4\ or\ 2y=12\\\\i.e.\\\\y=4\ or\ y=6$

but y≠ 4

since, the denominator of the term in the left side of the given equality and the second term in the right side of the given equality will be zero and hence, the expression will be not defined.

Hence, the value of y is: 6
