A tree casts a shadow 60 feet long. At the same time, a nearby 8-foot post casts a 12- foot shadow. How tall is the tree?

Answer:

  40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The post is 8/12 = 2/3 as tall as the shadow is long. We expect the same relationship holds for the tree.

  tree height = (2/3)(shadow length) = (2/3)(60 ft) = 40 ft

The tree is 40 feet tall.

6. In right triangle ABC, mZC=3y-10,
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of y

we know that

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In this problem

m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°

substitute the given values

90\°+(y+40)\°+(3y-10)\°=180\°

Solve for y

4y+120=180

4y=180-120

4y=60

y=15

step 2

<em>Find the measure of angle B</em>

m∠B=(y+40)°

substitute the value of y

m∠B=(15+40)=55°

step 3

<em>Find the measure of angle C</em>

m∠C=(3y-10)°

substitute the value of y

m∠C=(3(15)-10)=35°

The three interior angles are different

so

The three sides of the ABC triangle will also be different

therefore

The right triangle ABC is scalene

What is the area of a triangle with a base length of 2 1/2 inches and a height of 2 inches
Sedaia [141]
Hello I am happy to help you with this problem. So the formula to solve for a triangle is A = bxh divided by 2.
So it’s area equals base times height divided by 2. So the base is 2 1/2 which becomes 5/2 ( five over 2) times 2 which equals 5. It’s because you cancel. So 5 divided by 2 equals 5/2 which also equals 2 1/2.



I hope that helps you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.

Solve for t if p≠q<br> (t+p)/q - q/p = (t-q)/p + p/q
german

Answer:

.. q T 0 = (q/p)a (q/p)a − (q/p)T−10 if p ≠ q and qT0 = 1 − T0/a if p = q = 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that there are two different solutions, p and q, in [a, b]. Thus p =g(p) q =g(q) p ≠ q The function g(x) satisfies the hypotheses of the mean-value ... that g(p) –g(q) = (p – q) g׳(t) Because g(p) =p and g(q) = q, the left side of Eq. (1-3) may...
