Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem, a2+b2=c2, a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , is used to find the length of any side of a right triangle.
In a right triangle, one of the angles has a value of 90 degrees.
The longest side of a right triangle is called the hypotenuse, and it is the side that is opposite the 90 degree angle.

mina [271]

Answer: 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 16 minutes for the first 2 stations to water their sections which means that the time taken per station is:

= 16/2

= 8 minutes per station

Ms. Reynolds has 5 stations.

Total time taken will therefore be:

= 8 * 5

= 40 minutes

A lamp post with a height of 12 ft casts a shadow of 6 ft. A fire hydrant near it casts a shadow that is 1.5 ft long. How tall i

alex41 [277]

Answer:

3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of lamp, h=12ft

Height of shadow, l=6ft

Height of shadow of hydrant, l'=1.5ft

Let height of hydrant=h'

We have to find the height of fire hydrant.

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Using the property

$\frac{h}{h'}=\frac{l}{l'}$

$\frac{12}{h'}=\frac{6}{1.5}$

$h'=\frac{12\times 1.5}{6}$

$h'=3$ ft

Hence, the height of fire hydrant=3 ft
