Suppose you are standing such that a 32-foot tree is directly between you and the sun. If you are standing 140 feet away from th

e tree and the tree casts a 160-foot shadow, how tall could you be and still be completely in the shadow of the tree? x 160 ft 140 ft 32 ft

Answer:

Height = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how tall I can be we take the difference between the shadow cast by the 32-feet tree and the distance away from the tree

But the tree is 32 feet tall but on shadow it's 160

So lemme determine how long I'll be in my shadow first

Distance away from tree= 140 feet

Length of shadow cast by tree

= 160 feet

Length of shadow= 160-140

Length if shadow= 20 feet

My height= x

X/20= 32/160

X= 20*32/260

X = 4 feet

Height = 4 feet

Answer:

  angles (W, X, Y) = (77°, 62°, 41°)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  ΔWZY

  ∠W = 2(∠Y) -5°

  ∠X = ∠Y +21°

<u>Find</u>:

  ∠X, ∠Y, ∠W

<u>Solution</u>:

Using angle measures in degrees, we have ...

  ∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180

  (∠Y +21) +∠Y + (2(∠Y) -5) = 180

  4(∠Y) +16 = 180 . . . . . simplify

  ∠Y +4 = 45 . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  ∠Y = 41 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

  ∠W = 2(41) -5 = 77

  ∠X = 41 +21 = 62

The angle measures of angles (W, X, Y) are (77°, 62°, 41°), respectively.

Hi
Yes 15 kilometers is 1500000 cm

This is because in metric conversion, you multiply by ten each time you convert to the next unit.

Heres a useful way to remember

K ing (kilo)
H enry (hecto)
D oesn't (deca)
U sually (unit) <-metre, litre ect.
