Answer:

The tree is 17.5 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

Shadow

-----------

height

28          8

------ = ------------

tree         5

Using cross products

28*5 = 8 * tree

140 = 8 * tree

divide each side by 8

140/8 = 8 *tree/ 8

17.5 = tree

The interior angles formed by the sides of a pentagon have measures that sum to 540°. What is the measure of angle B?
patriot [66]

Answer:

m∠B = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The sum of the measures of the angles in a pentagon is 540°.

So, we get,

130 + (x-5) + (x+30) + 75 + (x-35) = 540

i.e. 3x + (130+30+75) - (5+35) = 540

i.e. 3x + 235 - 40 = 540

i.e. 3x + 195 = 540

i.e. 3x = 540 - 195

i.e. 3x = 345

i.e. x= 115°

Now, as m∠B = (x-5)° = (115-5)° = 110°

Hence, the measure of angle B is 110°.

Find each percent of change. Round yo the nearest whole percent if necessary. <br><br> 55 to 35
Reptile [31]
So subtract 55 from 35

35 - 55 = -20

then, put -20 over 55

-20/55 equals -0.36 repeating, rounded to -0.36, which equals 36%

the negative stands for decrease, so it's around 36% decrease
