The ratio of the triangle is 55/1.1, which is 50/1.

This means that the building is 50/1 = x/5

x = 250

The office building is 250 m tall.

A right cylinder ice cream cone has 600 cubic centimeters of ice cream, what is the radius of the cone of the height is 15 centi
choli [55]
The formula for volume is V=Bh where  B is the area of the base. 
plug in what they have given you:
600=B(15) you can divide both sides by 15

40=B    We know that a cylinder's base is a circle so we can use the area f                           formula for a circle to solve for the radius.
40 = pi(r)^2   divide both sides by pi to get the r^2 alone
40/pi=r^2     square root both sides to get rid of the square
you should get
r=3.5 approximately

Akimi4 [234]

At high noon, you can feel warm air coming from inland. During noon, especially in spring and summer, the radiation caused by the Sun warms the land surface more compared to the sea surface. This is because heat is directly applied on the land surface compared to the ocean.

Please help me with this homework
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

10.44 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this as a triange. The base is 3m and the perpendicular is 10m. The angle between the base and wall is 90° so it will be a right angled triangle.

Solve this by Pythagoras theorm:

let length of ladder is c

base is b

And perpendicular is a

Acc to Pythagoras theorem:

C² = a² + b²

C² = 10² + 3²

C² = 100 + 9

C² = 109

√C² = √109

C = 10.44m
