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 .

a square window has a perimeter of (8x + 12) feet. Write an expression that represents the side length of the window. (in feet)

Harrizon [31]

8x+12=p so you would take away 12 from p making the equation 8x=p-12 and then divide that by 8 so the equation is x= p-12/8 ( x equals p minus 12 over 8)

I NEED ANSWER SUPER BAD PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!What is the greatest integer less than 100 for which the greatest common divisor of tha

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will list out the numbers which are factors of 12. They include:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

We need to get the highest number that has its greatest factor to be 4. It means that 6 and 12 cannot divide it.

To do this, we will write out the multiples of 4. They include:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88,92,96.

We will have to choose the highest number which only 4 can divide and 6 and 12 cannot divide.

Since we are looking for the largest, We can try dividing all the numbers by 4, 6, and 12 starting from 96.

We will quickly see that 4 can divide 92 but 6 and 12 cannot.

This gives us 92 as the answer.

Each year, all final year students take a mathematics exam. It is hypothesized that the population mean score for this test is 8

drek231 [11]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (96.06,103.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 85

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 100

Sample size, n = 30

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 11

95% Confidence interval:

$\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

$100 \pm 1.96(\frac{11}{\sqrt{30}} ) = 100 \pm 3.94= (96.06,103.94)$

(96.06,103.94) is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean test score.
