Answer:  11.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height of Fatim = 6 feet

At noon, he stands with the sun behind him casting a shadow. Also, Fatima is standing vertical to the ground such that a right triangle is formed.

Let the length of Fahim’s shadow be x.

By Pythagoras theorem , we have

13^2=x^2+6^2\\\\\Rightarrow169=x^2+36\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=169-36\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=133\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{133}=11.5325625947\approx11.5

Hence, the  length of Fahim’s shadow =11.5 feet

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 34 inches and the length is 34 inches and the length of one of its legs is 1
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The length of the other leg of this right angled triangle is 30 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A right angles triangle with the hypotenuse of 34 inches and the length of one of its legs is 16 inches.

Pythagoras theorem:

  • The sum of of square of two sides of a triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Let x inches be the length of the other leg of this right triangle.

Thus, we can write the equation:

x^2 + (16)^2 = (34)^2\\x^2 + 256 = 1156\\x^2 = 900\\x = 30

Thus, the length of the other leg of this right angled triangle is 30 inches.

Which is the more reasonable measurement of the distance between the tracks on a railroad:
nataly862011 [7]

If you're comparing 1.435 * 10^(-3) mm to 1.435 * 10^3 mm, then the more reasonable measurement is 1.435 * 10^3 mm since,

1.435 * 10^3 mm = 1435 mm = 1.435 meters

1 meter is about 3.28 feet approximately

So 1.435 meters is slightly larger (about 4.708 feet) which is a fairly reasonable distance between the tracks on a railroad.

-------------------

Something like 1.435 * 10^(-3) mm is equal to 0.001435 mm, which is far less than 1 mm.

What is the total amount of 2/5+5/3+9/3 and the lowest common denominator?
gregori [183]

The lowest common denominator is lcm(5, 3), which is 15.

The sum of 2/5 + 5/3 + 9/3 is 6/15 + 25/15 + 45/15, which is 76/15 or 5\frac{1}{15}.

Equivalent fractions
mestny [16]
Well, 6/8 can be simplified: divide the numerator and denominator by 2, then your simplified fraction is 3/4. Now, multiply straight across: 4 times what=12? 3 does. So, you do the same thing to the numerator, because whatever you do to the denominator must be done to the numerator, and same reversed. 3*3=9, so the answer to this is 9/12!!
