So the tower is going to be larger than the shadow but not to large so let work  from there and not to large so the only logical answer is d

Answer:

The height of the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters .

Option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the height of the tower be x.

Let us assume that the shadow of the tower be y.

(As the shadow is always varies upon height .)

Thus

x \propto y

x =ky

\frac{x}{y}= k

As given

She used a 1.2 meter model of the tower and measured its shadow at 2 P.M.

The length of the shadow was 0.9 meter.

Here x = 1.2 meter

y = 0.9 meter

\frac{1.2}{0.9}= k

As given the Eiffel Tower’s shadow is 240 meters.

Here x = Height of Eiffel tower

y = 240 meters.

and

\frac{1.2}{0.9}= k

Put in the equation

\frac{x}{y}= k

\frac{Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower}{240} = \frac{1.2}{0.9}

Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower = \frac{1.2\times 240}{0.9}

Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower = \frac{288}{0.9}

Simplify the above

Height of the Eiffel Tower = 320 meters .

Therefore the height of the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters .

Option (d) is correct.

According to the ASA theorem, which of the following sets of relationships can be used to show that VRT and STR are congruent?
irina [24]

Answer:

C. ∠SRT≅∠VTR and ∠STR≅∠VRT

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

RS║VT; RT is an transversal line;

Hence By alternate interior angle property;

∠SRT≅∠VTR

∠STR≅∠VRT

Now in Δ VRT and Δ STR

∠SRT≅∠VTR (from above)

segment RT= Segment RT (common Segment for both triangles)

∠STR≅∠VRT (from above)

Now by ASA theorem;

Δ VRT ≅ Δ STR

Hence the answer is C. ∠SRT≅∠VTR and ∠STR≅∠VRT

How to find the volume of a quarter-sphere?
Ganezh [65]

As the word suggests, a quarter-sphere is a quarter of a sphere, and thus the volume of a quarter-sphere is a quarter of the volume of the sphere.

The volume of a sphere is computed as

\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3

So, the volume of a quarter-sphere is

\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^3
