Answer:
<em>The distance from the flagpole to the tree is 27 ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Similar Triangles</u>
Since the elevation angle from which the trees cast their shadows has the same measure and given the tree and the flagpole and the ground form right angles, both triangles are similar.
Similar triangles have their corresponding side lengths proportional. The ratio between the distances from the bench to the tree and flagpole and their heights is constant, i.e.:
Where x is the distance from the bench to the tree.
Solving for x:
x = 45 feet
Thus the distance from the flagpole to the tree is 45 - 18 = 27 feet
Note: Consider x be the breadth of the box.
Given:
The surface area of the box is 204.25 square feet.
Length of the box = 10 ft
Breadth of the box = x ft
Height of the box = 6.5 ft
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
The surface area of a cuboid is:
Where, l is length, b is breadth and h is height of the cuboid.
Putting in the above formula, we get
Using distributive property, we get
Divide both sides by 33.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
