The triangle that is formed from by connecting the shadow, the tree and the endpoints of each is a right triangle. The two triangles formed (by the tree and its shadow, and by Rachel and her shadow) are similar. In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional. Thus, to give the numerical answer to this item,
                         length  of the tree/14 ft = 6 ft / 3.5 ft
                                  length of the tree = 24 ft

A spherical ball has a diameter of 8 inches. The ball has a slow leak in which the air escapes at the rate of 2.5 inches per sec
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

107.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

the diameter of ball 8 inches

radius= 8/2 = 4 in

The volume of the ball

v=4/3 \pi r^3

v= 4/3*3.142*4^3\\\\v= 4/3*3.142*64\\\\v= 804.35/3\\\\v=268.12 in^3

Step two:

we know that

rate= quantity/time

rate= 2.4 in per second

quantity= 268.12

time=?

time= quantity/rate

time= 268.12/2.5

time= 107.2 seconds

Which of the following functions is graphed below ? (:
Alekssandra [29.7K]
C is the answer.  By only looking at the domain (the stuff on the right in the functions), you can see that the first equation has a hole at x=2, meaning it does not have a value here at x=2.  When x<2, there are values for the 1st function.  When x>2, there are values for the second function, as well as when x=2
