Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we had a big animal sanctuary for cats and dogs.

We had say 30 cats and 50 dogs

So by proportion we have:  

Using format type 1

cats : dogs  

→

30

:

50

→

3

:

5

as ratio (proportions)

But for  

3

:

5

we have 3 parts in combination with 5 parts giving a proportion total of  

3

+

5

=

8

Converting this to fractions and hence percentage

Cats  

=

3

3

+

5

=

3

8

→

3

8

×

100

%

=

ddd

37.5

%

of the whole

Dogs  

=

5

3

+

5

=

5

8

→

5

8

×

100

%

=

ddd

62.5

%

of the whole

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

ddddddddddddddddd

Added up  

→

100.0

%

all of the whole

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using format type 2 - Fraction format

cats

dogs

→

30

50

→

3

5

←

This is NOT a fraction of the whole

Again we have  

cats

cats + dogs

→

3

3

+

5

×

100

%

=

37.5

%

of the whole

dogs

cats + dogs

→

5

3

+

5

×

100

%

=

62.5

%

of the whole

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The height of the tower is 245 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question in English is </em></u>

Find the height of the tower with the data provided by the engineering team. Value of the segment ab= 50 m. The length between the child and the tip of the tower is 250 m

<u><em>The picture in the attached figure </em></u>

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

we have

AB=50\ m\\AC=250\ m

substitute

250^2=50^2+BC^2

BC^2=250^2-50^2

BC^2=60,000\\BC=245\ m
