First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.

Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet

The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).

Expand the polynomial:<br> (5a+1/5 b)^2
WINSTONCH [101]
Expand the following:
(5 a + b/5)^2

(5 a + b/5) (5 a + b/5) = (5 a) (5 a) + (5 a) (b/5) + (b/5) (5 a) + (b/5) (b/5):
5×5 a a + (5 a b)/5 + (5 b a)/5 + (b b)/(5×5)

(5 a b)/5 = 5/5×a b = a b:
5×5 a a + a b + (5 b a)/5 + (b b)/(5×5)

(b×5 a)/5 = 5/5×b a = b a:
5×5 a a + a b + b a + (b b)/(5×5)

Combine powers. (b b)/(5×5) = (b^(1 + 1))/(5×5):
5×5 a a + a b + b a + (b^(1 + 1))/(5×5)

1 + 1 = 2:
5×5 a a + a b + b a + (b^2/5)/5

5 a×5 a = 5×5 a^2:
5×5 a^2 + a b + b a + (b^2/5)/5

5×5 = 25:
Answer:  25 a^2 + a b + b a + (b^2/5)/5

You need 20 pounds of grass seed to plant grass inside the baseball diamond below. About how many pounds of grass seed
taurus [48]

Answer:

13 pounds of grass.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 20 pounds of grass seed to plant inside the baseball diamond.

The Baseball Diamond is a square of side = 90 ft

The Softball Diamond is a square of side = 60 ft

The ratio of the size of the Baseball Diamond to that of Softball Diamond is:

90: 60 = 3:2

If 3 represents 20 pounds, then 2 represents;

\frac{2}{3} × 20 = 13.33333333 pounds = 13 pounds (rounded to nearest pound)
