Ratio of height of the man to the length of the shadow = 6:9 = 2:3
Ratio of height of the tree to the length of its shadow = x:25 = 2:3
x/25 = 2/3
x = (25 x 2)/3 = 50/3 = 16.67

Therefore the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot is 17 feet.

The question ask to calculate and find the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot if it has cast a shadow of 25feet and the man also cast a shadow near it at a height of 6 foot. So base on that fact, I came up with an answer of approximately 17 feet. I hope you are satisfied with my answer

<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>When expanding brackets, you simply multiply whatever is inside the brackets by what is outside:</h3>

(7x * x) + (7x * 20)

<h3>Which would result in the answer being:</h3>

7x^{2} + 140x

If a standard 6 sided dice is rolled. (Write your answers as a decimal, rounded to the nearest hundredth.) Find: a. Probability
pshichka [43]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5,6

P( a prime number and a multiple of two)

The only prime number that is a multiple of 2 is 2

P( a prime number and a multiple of two) = number of outcomes / total outcomes

P( a prime number and a multiple of two) = 1/6 = .17

P(3 or a prime number)

The prime numbers are 2,3,5  and 3 is included in this list so we have 3 outcomes

P( 3 or a prime number) = number of outcomes / total outcomes

P( 3 or a prime number) =3/6 =1/2= .5

P(3 U Multiple of 2)

Multiples of 2 are 2,4,6 and add 3 to the list  so there are 4 outcomes

P( 3 U Multiple of 2) = number of outcomes / total outcomes

P( 3 or a prime number) =4/6 =2/3= .67

P(2 U Even number)

even numbers are 2,4,6 and 2 is on the list  so there are 3 outcomes

P( 2 U Even number) = number of outcomes / total outcomes

P( 3 or a prime number) =3/6 =1/2= .5

A rectangular prism has dimensions of 1/3, 3, and 5/3 in.
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular prism has a volume equal to V=xyz. V=(1/3)3(5/3)=5/3 in^3. The cube has a volume equal to V=s^3. The volume of the cube is equal to the prism when

s^3=(1/3)(3)(5/3)\\ \\ s^3=5/3\\ \\ s=\sqrt[3]{\frac{5}{3}}in\\ \\ s\approx 1.19in
