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

Calculate the volume of a cone whose base radius is 3 and half cm and vertical height 24cm​
Firlakuza [10]

The volume of a cone whose radius is 3 1 / 2 cm and vertical height is 24 cm is 307.72 cm³

<h3>Volume of a cone</h3>

The volume of a cone can be represented as follows:

volume = 1 / 3 πr²h

where

  • r = radius
  • h = height

Therefore,

r  = 3 1 / 2 cm = 7 / 2 cm

h = 24 cm

Hence,

volume = 1 / 3 × π  × (7 / 2 )² × 24

volume of a cone = 1 / 3 × π × 49 / 4 × 24

volume of the cone = 1 / 3 × π × 1176 / 4

volume of the cone =  1176 / 12 π

volume of the cone = 98π

volume of the cone =  307.72 cm³

Given that A, O &amp; B lie on a straight line segment, evaluate <br>x<br>.​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the same way:

       we know that

if A , O and B lie on a straight line segment

then

∡AOY+∡YOZ+∡ZOB=180°

so

3x+x+x=180-----> 5x=180--------> x=180/5--------> x=36°

the answer is

x=36°

What is the unit rate $1.99 for 30 oz to nearest tenth
KatRina [158]

Answer:

$0.10/oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate simply means the amount per 1 unit of something.

In this case, we want to find the amount of money for 1 oz of something.

So, we divide 1.99 by 30 and divide 30 by 30 to get:

(1.99 / 30) / (30 / 30) = $0.0663 / 1 oz

Rounded to the nearest tenth, 0.0663 is about 0.1.

Thus, the answer is $0.10/oz.
