I will convert feet to inches.

4 feet, 6 inches = 54 inches

20 feet = 240 inches

5/x = 54/240

Let x = closest height of tree

54x = 5(240)

54x = 1,200

x = 1200/54

x = 22.2222222222

The tree is about 22 feet tall.

Answer:

22 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Mac = 5 feet

Height of shadow of Mac = 4 foot 6 inches = 4+\frac{6}{12}= 4.5 inches .

We are given that At the same time, a nearby tree casts a 20  foot shadow .

Let the height of the tree be x

ATQ

\frac{5}{4.5}=\frac{x}{20}

\frac{5}{4.5} \times 20=x

22.22=x

Hence the height of the tree is approximately 22 inches .

Mandarinka [93]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Consider a sampling distribution with p equals 0.12 and samples of size n each.

Then, formula for mean = p

Formula for standard deviation= \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

(a) For a random sample of size n equals 5000.

Mean = 0.12

Standard deviation= \sqrt{\dfrac{0.12(1-0.12)}{5000}}

\\\\0.00459565011723\approx0.0046

(b) For a random sample of size n equals 1000.

Mean = 0.12

Standard deviation= \sqrt{\dfrac{0.12(1-0.12)}{1000}}

\\\\=0.0102761860629\approx0.0103

(c) For a random sample of size n equals 500.

Mean = 0.12

Standard deviation= \sqrt{\dfrac{0.12(1-0.12)}{500}}

\\\\=0.0145327216997\approx0.0145

A survey was conducted
inna [77]

Answer: 9/25 or 36%

Step-by-step explanation:

72 + 28 + 62 + 38 = 200

There are 200 people in total and 72 are youngsters who like sport cars.

So, the number of youngsters who like cars out of the total number of people is 72/200.

Now, find a greatest common divisor. In this case, the greatest common divisor is 8.

72 / 8 = 9

200 / 8 = 25

9/25 (fraction)

25 * 4 = 100

9 * 4 = 36

36/100 = 36% (percentage)

The completely factored form of the provided polynomial is  (p -2) (p+ 2) (p² +4). The option 4 is the correct option.

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial equations is the expression in which the highest power of the unknown variable is n (n is a real number).

The polynomial equation given in the problem is,

p^4 - 16

Let the factor form of the polynomial is f(p). Thus,

f(p)=p^4 - 16\\f(p)=p^4 - 2^4\\f(p)=(p^2)^2- (2^2)^2

Using the formula of difference of squares, we get,

f(p)=(p^2-4)(p^2+4)\\f(p)=(p^2-2^2)(p^2+4)\\f(p)=(p-2)(p+2)(p^2+4)

Thus, the completely factored form of the provided polynomial is  (p -2) (p+ 2) (p² +4). The option 4 is the correct option.
