Answer:
4). The Washington Monument is 169.2-m tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
4). We know this because...
person 1.8 0.7
---------- = ----- = -------
Wash. x 65.8
We then know to cross-multiply to get:
1.8(65.8) = 0.7x
Which simplifies down to:
118.44 = 0.7x
x = 169.2
Answer:
5). The pond is 180ft wide.
Step-by-step explanation:
5). We know this because...
90 120
----- = -------
135 x
We then know to cross-multiply to get:
90x = 120(135)
Which simplifies down to:
90x = 16200
x = 180
Answer:
6). The height of the clock tower is 13ft 9in.
Step-by-step explanation:
6). We know this because...
person 5.5 4
---------- = -------- = -----
clock x 10
We then know to cross-multiply to get:
5.5(10) = 4x
Which simplifies down to:
55 = 4x
x = 13.75 (13 ft 9 in)
10.
Answer: 42° and 138°
Steps: First find value of x by adding both equations and setting them equal to 180°:
3x + 12x - 30 = 180
15x - 30 = 180
15x = 210
x = 14
Next, put value of x into equations to find the angle:
3x
3(14)
42°
12x - 30
12(14) - 30
168 - 30
138°
11. Answer: 28°
Steps: Complementary angles add up to 90°, so subtract 62° from 90° to find its complementary angle.
90 - 62 = 28
12. Answer: Corresponding angles are congruent.
1/9 is the answer for that question
Let's call the width: w
the lenght is then 3w+4 ("4 more than 3 times the width")
and the parameter would be 2(w+3w+4), that is 2*(4w+4), that is 8w+8.
this is also equal to 18.4:
8w+8=18.4
8w=10.4
w=1.3
this is the width, and the lenght is:
4+3*1,3=4+3.9=7.9
and the area is their product:
1.3*7.9=10.27
