We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
Answer:
132 mm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The line added to the figure in the attachment shows it can be divided into two figures whose area is easily calculated.
1. A parallelogram of base length 20 mm and height 4 mm:
A = bh = (20 mm)(4 mm) = 80 mm^2
2. A trapezoid with bases 32 mm and 20 mm, and height 2 mm:
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(32 mm +20 mm)(2 mm) = 52 mm^2
The total area of the figure is then ...
80 mm^2 +52 mm^2 = 132 mm^2
32.92 next is 27 last is 230
Answer: $7350
Step-by-step explanation:
$3675 x 2 = $7350
Since we already know that there is a 25% chance to guess the correct answer to a multiple choice question, all we have to do is multiply .25 and 68 to get the expected amount of answers a student can possibly guess. We multiply .25 since it is the decimal form of 25% and 68 is our total questions.
.25 x 68 = 17
Therefore, a student can expect to guess 17 answers correct on a test with 68 multiple choice questions.
