Answer:

  726 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Object height and shadow length are proportional, so you have ...

  (object height)/(shadow length) = (18 ft)/(72 ft) = (dam height)/(2904 ft)

Then the dam height is ...

  dam height = (2904 ft)(18/72) = 726 ft

Hoover Dam is 726 feet high.

In 1905 the Colorado River flooded parts of Nevada. It ruined crops, roads, and buildings. Water covered the land for an entire year. To stop the flooding, the construction of the Hoover Dam began. The dam controlled the river and brought water to the cities. It was completed in 1935. It took 5,000 workers and 5 years to build. Hoover Dam is 1,244 feet long and 726 feet high.

Find the mean of the list of data.<br> 49, 65, 41, 38, 87, 55, 95, 106<br> I can’t find the answer
KatRina [158]

Answer:

67.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the mean:

Mean is add up everything and divide by how much numbers there are.

The numbers are:

49, 65, 41, 38, 87, 55, 95, 106.

So we add them up which is 536.

Then we divide by how much numbers there are.

There are 8 numbers so 536/8 which is 67.

Hope this helps :D
