If he catches 2 out of 5, that mean he catches 14 out of x. We multiply 2 by 7 to get 14, so we multiply 7 by 5 to get 35. 35 balls were thrown at him. To check your work you can simply simplify 14/35 to get 2 out of 5 again. Hope this helps!

Deondra is 1.35 meters tall. At 10 a.m., she measures the length of a tree's shadow to
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

If the length of a tree's shadow is 35.25 meters. The height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter will be : 11.74m

Given:

Denora height=1.35 meters

Length =35.25 meters

Width =31.2 meters

Height of the tree=x

Proportion:

1.35 : 35.25 :: x : 31.2

Now let's determine the height of the tree:

35.25 - 31.2 / 1.35 = 35.25 / x

4.05 / 1.35 = 35.25 / x

Cross multiply

4.05x = 35.25 × 1.35

4.05x = 47.58

Divide both sides

x = 47.58 / 4.05

<u>x = 11.74</u>

In conclusion, if the length of a tree's shadow is 35.25 meters. The height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter will be: 11.74m

Kirti has developed formulas to help her determine the size of her rectangular flower garden each spring. If she wants to plant
Ksju [112]

Answer:

A(n) = L(n) × W(n) and A(n)=0.5n^{2} +2n+2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the length of the rectangular garden is L and width is W.

Also, in terms of 'n',

Length is given by, L(n) = n + 2

Width is given by, W(n) = 0.5n + 1.

Now, we know that, Area of rectangle = Length × Width.

Therefore, area of Kirti's garden is given by, A(n) = L(n) × W(n).

Thus, formula of area in terms of L(n) and W(n) is A(n) = L(n) × W(n).

Moreover, as A(n) = L(n) × W(n).

i.e. A(n) = (n+2) × (0.5n+1)

i.e. A(n)=0.5n^{2} +n+2 \times 0.5n+2

i.e. A(n)=0.5n^{2} +n+n+2

i.e. A(n)=0.5n^{2} +2n+2

Hence, the formula for area in terms of 'n' is A(n)=0.5n^{2} +2n+2.
