(cell tower)/((45 +3) m) = (2 m)/(3 m)
(cell tower) = (48 m)(2/3) = 32 m

B. 32 m . . . . . is the appropriate selection

Answer:

B. 32 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can join the top of the cell phone tower to the point B. Similarly, we can join the pole top to the point B.

We will get a two similar triangles.

The ratio of similar triangles are in proportion.

Let's take "x" be height of the cell phone tower.

Cell phone tower          Cell phone tower shadow

-------------------------  =  ------------------------------------

Pole                                    Pole shadow

x/2 = (45 + 3)/3

x/2 = 48/3

x/2 = 16

Multiplying both sides, we get

x = 2*16

x = 32 meters

Therefore, the height of the cell phone tower is 32 meters.

It is B. 32 m

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

the two lines represent the amount of water, over time, in two tanks that are the same size. Which container is filling more qui
uranmaximum [27]

The missing figure is attached down

Answer:

Container A is filling more quickly

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let us explain the linear relation</em>

The linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line which represents the rate of change (change in y/change in x)
  • b is the y-intercept which means the initial amount of y (at x = 0)

<em>If a line represents the amount of water over time, then it represents the rate of filling of the water</em>

∵ There are two containers A and B that have the same size

∵ The two lines represent the amount of water over time in

    containers A and B

∴ The slopes of the lines represent the rat of water in the tanks

→ That means the greater slope represents the greater rate

∵ The greater the slope, the steeper the line

∴ The container that represented by the steeper the line is filling quickly

→ The line represents container A is steeper more than the line

    represents container B

∴ Container A is filling more quickly
