Answer:

Both

Step-by-step explanation:

Summer is three months in the year, there are four seasons in a year. Also, if you do 1/4 times 3 you get 3/12!

Oh, oh! This is such a tricky question...

Guess what!

Both of them are correct. Why?

Because if we simplify 3/12, we get 1/4th!

(How do you simplify?)

3/12 = 1/4

Because if we divide both "3" and "12" in 3/12 by 3, we get 1 instead of 3 and 4 instead of 12.

I hope you've got it! ;)

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sedaia [141]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle{ABC}$ is similar to $\triangle{ADE}$ so we can write the ratio

$\dfrac{x}{6+4} = \dfrac{2}{6}$

Solving for x, we get

$x = \left(\dfrac{2}{6}\right)(10) = \dfrac{10}{3}$

4. You read an article in your local newspaper about a discussion between the owner of a popular business and a group

Alona [7]

The business owner should be told to angle a spotlight mounted on the roof at the angle of =39°

<h3>Calculation of angle</h3>

The distance of the flagpole from the building = 55ft

The building has the height of = 45ft

The flagpole has the height of = 25ft

The angle can be calculated using the formula;

Tan θ = opposite/adjacent

Where opposite= 45ft

adjacent = 55ft

Tan θ = 45/55 = 0.82

θ = Tan–¹0.82

θ = 39°
