Answer:

The court house tower should be 51 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5+2.5=5 feet because 2+2=4 and 0.5+0.5=1. 4+1=5

25.5+25.5=51 because 25+25=50 and 0.5+0.5=1. 50+1=51

Answer:

The court house tower is 62.5 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

A five foot boy casts a 2 foot shadow.

Height of boy = 5 feet

Height of shadow of boy = 2 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of boy}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of boy}}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5

So ratio of original height to shadow height is 2.5.

Now we need to find how tall is the court house tower, if its shadow is 25 feet.

\frac{\texttt{Height of house tower}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of house tower}}=2.5\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of house tower}}{25}=2.5\\\\\texttt{Height of house tower}=2.5\times 25=62.5feet

The court house tower is 62.5 feet tall

Write an equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept,(4,3) and (0,1)
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

y=1/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First use slope formula.

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Plug in the information needed.

\frac{1-3}{0-4}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}

The slope is \frac{1}{2}.

Now, use point-slope formula.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Plug in the information needed.

y-3=1/2(x-4)

y-3=1/2x-2

y=1/2x+1

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y=1/2x+1.

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.

Find the measure of the arc or central angle indicated. Assume that lines which appear to be diameters are actual diameters.
vfiekz [6]

The measure of the Central Angle indicated is; 45°

<h3>How to find the central angle of a circle?</h3>

The central angle will be the angle subtended at the center by arc FE and arc CB.

Now, we see that angle ∠FOB = 135° and since we know that sum of angles on a straight line is 180°, then we can say that;

Central Angle = 180° - 135° = 45°

Angle subtended by Arc CD at the center is;

θ = 180 - (81 + 45)

θ = 54°

Dan makes pineapple sherbet he uses 2 1/2 lemons

work out how many people he makes pineapple sherbet for?

=======================================================

1/2 lemon needed for pineapple sherbet for 6 people

2 1/2 lemons needed for pineapple sherbet for <u>x</u> people

1/2 : 6 = 2 1/2 : x

∴ x = ( 6 * 2 1/2 ) ÷ (1/2)

x = 6 * 5/2 * 2 = 30 people

<u>So, he make the pineapple sherbet for 30 people </u>

Find the measure of &lt;2
jeka57 [31]
<2 = 38 
An iscolese triangle adds to 180 degrees. Thus, the two base angles, which is <2 & <3 should be half of the result from 180 - 104.

180 - 104 (angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees)
 = 76
76 / 2 (iscolese triangle. base angles are equal)
 therefore, 38
