If a man is 3 ft tall and casts an 8 foot shadow then how tall is a cat that casts a 18 inch shadowv

1 answer:

6 0

18 inch = 3/2 ft
$\frac{ \frac{3}{2} \times 3 }{8} \\ = \frac{ \frac{9}{2} }{8} \\ = \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{1}{8} \\ = \frac{9}{16}$
Cat tall 9/16 ft = 6.75 inch

Angle c is inscribed in circle O. AB is a diameter of circle O. what is the radius of circle.

Llana [10]

Answer:

The value of radius is 7.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a line that pass through the origin and form a triangle is a right-angle triangle. So in order to find the diameter/hypotenuse, you have to use Pythogaras Theorem :

${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

Let a = 12 units,

Let b = 9 units,

Let c = hypo.,

${hypo.}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {9}^{2}$

${hypo.}^{2} = 225$

$hypo. = \sqrt{225}$

$hypo. = 15 \: \: units$

We have found out that the hypotenuse of the triangle is the diameter of circle. So in order to find radius, you have to divide it by 2 :

$radius = diameter \div 2$

$radius = 15 \div 2$

$radius = 7.5 \: \: units$

Jenny is displaying her photographs

Inga [223]

Answer:

A) 9 photos in each row

B) 14 rows in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Photos of People = 45

Photos of Landscapes = 18

Photos of Pets = 63

Jenny wants to arrange these photos in rows with only one kind of photos in each row and same number of photos in each row. We have to find the greatest possible number of photos in each row. For this we need to find the greatest common factor of 45,18 and 63. This would give us the greatest possible number of photos that can be placed in each row.

By observing the 3 numbers, we can tell that the greatest common factor of these 3 numbers is 9. So, Jenny can place 9 photos in each row.

So,

There will be:

45/9 = 5 rows with photos of people

18/9 = 2 rows of photos of landscapes

63/9 = 7 rows of photos of pets

So, total number of rows would be = 5 + 2 + 7 = 14 rows
