B because k is not a specified number
Answer:
Thanks for the points! <3
It is true that 3=4 times 3\4 because 4 times 3 equals 12 while 12 divided by 4 equals 3.
3=3 is true.
Answer: The height of the building is 6.49 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be translated to:
"A building projects a 7.5 m shadow, while a tree with a height of 1.6 m projects a shadow of 1.85 m.
Which is the height of the building?"
We can conclude that the ratio between the projected shadow is and the actual height is constant for both objects, this means that if H is the height of the building, we need to have:
(height of the building)/(shadow of the building) = (height of the tree)/(shadow of the tree)
H/7.5m = 1.6m/1.85m
H = (1.6m/1.85m)*7.5m = 6.49m
The height of the building is 6.49 meters.
Let A and B be the two complementary angles.
A = smaller angle = 2x
B = larger angle = 13x
x = some unknown number
Note how the ratio A:B turns into 2x:13x which simplifies to 2:13
A+B = 90 ... because the angles are complementary
2x+13x = 90 ... substitution
15x = 90
x = 90/15
x = 6
A = 2*x = 2*6 = 12 degrees
B = 13*x = 13*6 = 78 degrees
The two angles are 12 degrees and 78 degrees.
Check:
A/B = 12/78 = (2*6)/(13*6) = 2/13, so A:B = 2:13
A+B = 12+78 = 90
