At a given time of the day, the ratio of the height of an object to the length of its shadow is the same for all objects. If a 3

ft stick in the ground casts a shadow is 1.5ft, find the height of a tree that casts a shadow that is 10.15ft

Answer:

20.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The object-shadow ratio for the stick= 3÷1.5=2:1

The object-shadow ratio is same for all objects.

Let height of the tree be x

2/1 = x/10.15

x=10.15 * 2=20.3

shelly is going shopping at the mall to buy three pairs of shoes. she has a coupon for $2 off per pair of shoes after buying the
kvasek [131]
Okay, to start, we can multiply the $2 coupon by two because that is the amount of pairs she is going to by. So it would be $4 off. Now, if all of the shoes she purchased the same price, this is made a little easier. We can simply take $80 and $122 and add it by the $4 discount. Our new numbers would be $84 and $126. Now in order for this to work we would want all the numbers to be the same. We take $84 and divide it by three pairs, to get the values. For the least amount she can spend per pair is $28 and the most amount she can spend per pair is $42.

Show work to triangles 2 and 3 explaining why they are right triangles
olganol [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a triangle to be a right triangle, it has to fit into Pythagorean's Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2 where c is the hypotenuse.

We need to figure out which is the longest side in each of those triangles and that is the hypotenuse.

In the first set, the sqrt of 443 is 21.04, but that is not the longest side; 24 is. So the Theorem formula for that is:

\sqrt{443}^2+17^2=24^2 which gives us

443 + 289 = 576, but 732 does not equal 576, so that one is not right.

In the second set, the sqrt of 725 is the longest side, so that formula is:

\sqrt{725}^2=14^2+23^2 which gives us

725 = 196 + 529, and 725 does equal 725, so that one is right.

In the third set, the sqrt of 890 is the longest side, so:

\sqrt{890}^2=19^2+23^2, which gives us

890 = 361 + 529, and 890 = 890, so that is a right triangle as well. That's how you know those are right, compared to the first one that is not.

Which sequence of similar transformations could map △ABC onto △A'B'C'?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:  A sequence of similar transformations of dilation and translation could map △ABC onto △A'B'C'.


Step-by-step explanation:

Similar transformations:  If one figure can be mapped onto the other figure using a dilation and a congruent rigid transformation or a rigid transformation followed by dilation then the two figures are said to be similar.

In the attachment △ABC mapped onto △A'B'C' by a sequence of dilation from origin and scalar factor k followed by translation.
