If you travel 40 miles at 45 miles per hour, how many minutes will that take you?
1 answer:
Ok so im not good with words and math, but i am going to try my best to explain it. first you will take 45/60 which is the 45 miles per hour. next you will put it equal to 40/x. x is how many minutes. they are set equal to each other because they are the same ratio. (i honestly dont know why you cross multiply, but you just do). you then multiply 40*60 and 45*x. this gives you 2400=45x. you then divide both sides by 45 and get 53 1/3 minutes. or 53 minutes and 20 seconds

Answer:
203 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attachment.
Let h represent the height of the building.
We have been given that at 3:30 in the afternoon in mid-September the Kimball Tower casts a shadow about 290 feet long when the sun's rays come down at an angle about 35 degrees above the horizontal.
We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle to its adjacent side.
Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:
Therefore, the building is approximately 203 feet high.
