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 .

Triphasil-28 birth control tablets are taken sequentially, 1 tablet per day for 28 days, with the tablets containing the followi
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1.925mg of levonorgestrel and 0.68mg of ethinyl estradiol are taken during the 28-day period.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total milligrams of levonorgestrel is:

L = L_{1} + L_{2} + L_{3}

In which L_{1}, L_{2} and L_{3} are the number of miligrams of levonorgestrel taken in each phase.

The total milligrams of ethinyl estradiol is:

E = E_{1} + E_{2} + E_{3}

In which E_{1},E_{2} and E_{3} are the number of miligrams of ethinyl estradiol taken in each phase.

We can solve this by phase.

Phase 1: 6 tablets, each containing 0.050 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.030 mg ethinyl estradiol

In this phase,

6*0.050mg = 0.30mg of levonorgestrel and 6*0.030mg = 0.18mg of ethinyl estradiol are taken.

So L_{1} = 0.30 and E_{1} = 0.18

Phase 2: 5 tablets, each containing 0.075 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.040 mg ethinyl estradiol

In this phase,

5*0.075mg = 0.375mg of levonorgestrel and 5*0.040mg = 0.20mg of ethinyl estradiol are taken.

So L_{2} = 0.375 and E_{2} = 0.20

Phase 3: 10 tablets, each containing 0.125 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.030 mg ethinyl estradiol

In this phase,

10*0.125mg = 1.25mg of levonorgestrel and 10*0.030mg = 0.30mg of ethinyl estradiol are taken.

So L_{3} = 1.25 and E_{3} = 0.30

The total milligrams of levonorgestrel is:

L = L_{1} + L_{2} + L_{3} = 0.30 + 0.375 + 1.25 = 1.925

The total milligrams of ethinyl estradiol is:

E = E_{1} + E_{2} + E_{3} = 0.18 + 0.20 + 0.30 = 0.68

1.925mg of levonorgestrel and 0.68mg of ethinyl estradiol are taken during the 28-day period.

Bruce bought his car for $24,380. It is expected to depreciate an average of 14% each year during the first 6 years.
Lera25 [3.4K]
Use the depreciation formula.

\sf A=P(1-\dfrac{R}{100})^n

Where 'P' is the principal amount, 'R' is the rate, and 'n' is the time in years. Plug in what we know:

\sf A=24380(1-\dfrac{14}{100})^6

Divide:

\sf A=24380(1-0.14)^6

Subtract:

\sf A=24380(0.86)^6

Simplify the exponent:

\sf A\approx 24380(0.40456723513)

Multiply:

\sf A\approx \boxed{\sf\$ 9863}
