Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
Answer:
i think the second one
Step-by-step explanation:
i think it would be the smartest thing to pick
add all the angles and make them equal to 360
88 + 108 + (3x-6) + 2x = 360
196 + 5x -6 = 360
190 + 5x = 360
5x = 170
x = 34 = answer
2(l+w)=P
72 x 2= 144
240 - 144= 96
96/2= 48
your answer would be 48in.
<u>check
</u>2(72+48)= 240
144+96= 240
240=240
If we have 2 coordinates say: (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
Then the formula for the midpoint is:
((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)
And the formula for the distance is:
Sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)
So here we have (-1,-4) and (-7,4)
The midpoint is:
((-1+-7)/2,(-4+4)/2) = (-8/2,0/2) = (-4,0)
The distance is:
Sqrt((-7- -1)^2+(4- -4)^2)
= sqrt((-6^2)+(8^2))
=sqrt(36+64)
=sqrt(100)
=10
