Answer:
40 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Height of fence = 8 feets
Shadow of fence = 14.5 feets
Shadow of cell phone tower = 72.5 feets
Height of cell phone tower = x
Height of fence = shadow of fence
Height of tower = shadow of tower
8 feets= 14.5 feets
x feets = 72.5
Cross multiply :
(14.5 * x) = (72.5 * 8)
14.5x = 580 feets
x = 580/14.5
x = 40 feets
Hence, the height of the cell phone tower is 40 feets
This is the concept of exponential growth, To get the number of bacteria after 10 days we use the formula:
f(t)=ae^(kt)
where;
a=initial number=5000
k=constant of proportionality= 0.04
t=time=10 days
f(t)=future number
thus the number of bacteria in 10 days will be:
f(t)=5000e^(0.04*10)
f(t)=7,459.12
The answer is 7,459.12

Let us try and solve it analytically. We have that the side=x+3 together with the short side=s and the diagonal=x+4 satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. Then we have that
. This yields
which yields s^2=2x+7, hence a) is the correct answer.
