Use the Pythagorean theorem:
70^2 = 42^2 + width^2
4900 = 1764 + width ^2
Subtract 1764 from both sides
3136 = width^2
Take the square root of both sides
Width = 56 inches
The probability of picking a green grape is 1/2.
<h3>What is probability?</h3>
Probability is the occurence of likely events. It is the area of mathematics that deals with numerical estimates of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1.
Since the probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picking a green grape out of the bowl is 1/8 and probability of picking just a red grape is 1/4 .
The probability of green grape will be the division. This will be:
= P(R and G) / P(R)
= 1/8 ÷ 1/4
= 1/8 × 4/1
= 1/2
The probability is 1/2.

The person and his shadow make a right triangle as well as the tree and it's shadow. they will be similar right triangles containing angles that are equal. I'm in similar triangles the angles are proportional so a ratio could be used to determine the shadow length. this ratio is:
25/5 = x/15
(Notice that both the height of the person and
the height of the tree height of the tree are on
the bottom because these would be similar
sides and the same for the shadows with both
on top. this could easily have been switched
with the shadows on bottom and heights on
top like:
5/25 = 15/x
however I noticed the 25/5 could easily be
reduced. this eliminated the need for cross
multiplication.)
The 25/5 can be reduced to 5:
5 = x/15
and then multiply both sides by 15 and you get:
x = 75
so the answer is 75 feet long.
this can be checked various ways. using trigonometry we have the opposite and adjacent sides so tangent could be used to find the angle between the shadow and the hypotenuse. this is:
tan (x) = opposite/adjacent
opposite = height
adjacent = shadow
so:
tan (x) = 5/25 for person
tan (x) = 15/75 for tree
these equations both reduce to:
tan (x) = 1/5
And of both equations are the same then the angLee are equal creating similar triangles and a correct answer
