Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Population = 12,961

Dimension of field:

length (l) = 80 yards = 80*3 = 240 ft (1 yd = 3 ft)

width (w) = 45 yards = 45*3 = 135 ft

Area of the field = l*w = 240*135 = 32,400 ft²

Area occupied by 1 person = 2.5 ft²

No of people the field can occupy = 32,400 ÷ 2.5 = 12,960

Exactly 12,960 people can fit into the field.

The population of the city, which is 12,961, is more than what the field can accommodate. Therefore, the population cannot fit in.

Marina86 [1]

The answer is 52,000.

You have to add all of the values and divide them by the number of values. In this case you would do 30,000 + 50,000 + 30,000 + 80,000 + 70,000 which equals 260,000 then you would divide that number by 5 since there are 5 values.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The height of near by tree will be 90 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the water triangle as shown in figure a.

As the old faithful shoots water 60 feet into the air that casts a shadow of 42 feet.

Considering the tree triangle as shown in figure a. The tree triangle has a shadow 63 feet long.

Let x be the height of near by tree that cost a shadow 63 feet long.

Assuming that the triangles are similar

So,

the ratios of similar triangles will be related as:

$\frac{63}{42}=\frac{x}{60}$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}$

$\frac{x}{60}=\frac{63}{42}$

${x}=60.\frac{63}{42}$

$x=90$ feet

Therefore, the height of near by tree will be 90 feet.
