A tree casts a shadow 24 feet long. a 5 foot person casts a 8 foot shadow.How tall is the tree?

Mathematics

(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall

Answer:

down below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 4% of 120 = 4.8, so 120+4.8 = 124.8 cm tall

2) 12% of 6000 = 720 .  6000-720 = 5280 gallons

3) 22% of 200 = 44 . 200-44 = 156

4) 30% of 40 - 12 .   40 - 12 = $28

5) 35% of 140 = $49 .  140 + 49 = $189

Two equations are given below:
goldenfox [79]
Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.

Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.

a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3

Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.

a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5

So your solution set  is (-5, -3)

Applying the formula for the area of a sector and length of an arc, the value of k is calculated as: 27.

<h3>What is the Area of a Sector?</h3>

Area of a sector of a circle = ∅/360 × πr²

<h3>What is the Length of an Arc?</h3>

Length of arc = ∅/360 × 2πr

Given the following:

  • Radius (r) = 9 cm
  • Length of arc = 6π cm
  • Area of sector = kπ cm²

Find ∅ of the sector using the formula for length of acr:

∅/360 × 2πr = 6π

Plug in the value of r

∅/360 × 2π(9) = 6π

∅/360 × 18π = 6π

Divide both sides by 18π

∅/360 = 6π/18π

∅/360 = 1/3

Multiply both sides by 360

∅ = 1/3 × 360

∅ = 120°

Find the area of the sector:

Area = ∅/360 × πr² = 120/360 × π(9²)

Area = 1/3 × π81

Area = 27π

Therefore, the value of k is 27.
