Answer:

86.8 m long

Step-by-step explanation:

A pole that is 2.5 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.34 m long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 46.5 m long. How tall is the building? Round to the nearest meter

We solve the above question using the Proportion formula:

Height of the pole/Shadow of the pole = Height of the building /Shadow of the building

Height of the pole = 2.5m

Shadow of the pole = 1.34 m

Height of the building = x

Shadow of the building = 46.5m

Hence:

2.5m/1.34m = x/46.5m

Cross Multiply

1.34m × x = 2.5m × 46.5m

x = 2.5m × 46.5m/1.34m

x = 86.753731343m

Approximately , The height of the building = 86.8 m

For an outdoor concert by the city​ orchestra, concert organizers estimate that 19 comma 000 people will attend if it is not rai
My name is Ann [436]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The expected number of people who will attend this concert = 2260</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The concert organizers estimate people will attend if it is not raining = 19000

If its raining people will attend = 4000

On the day of the​ concert, meteorologists predict a 90​% chance of rain.

This means 10 % chance of not raining

The expected number of people = 90% (4000) + 10% (19000)

   = 360 + 1900

  = 2260

The expected number of people who will attend this concert = 2260
