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

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) − 4
Anika [276]
Solve your equation step-by-step.

3(x+1)=−2(x−1)−4


Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x+1)=−2(x−1)−4

Simplify:

3x+3=−2x−2

Add 2x to both sides.

3x+3+2x=−2x−2+2x

5x+3=−2

Subtract 3 from both sides.

5x+3−3=−2−3

5x=−5

Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = −5/5

x=−1

A spherical cantaloupe is cut in half. The visible cross-section has an area of 5252 in2. The volume of the cantaloupe is _____
artcher [175]

Answer:

V = 286319.465 cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the radius to be able to find the volume of a sphere.

The equation for the area of a circle is pi r^2 so you have to so some algebra.

5252 = pi r ^2

5252/pi = r^2

1671.76352 = r^2

sqrt(1671.76352) = r

r = 40.8872048

then you do the equation for the volume of a circle which is 4/3 pi r^3

4/3 pi (40.8872048)^3

4/3 pi 68353.7373

4/3 214739.599

286319.465

V = 286319.465 cm3
