Use one of the many Trigonometric ratios to solve for the missing angle and then use Pythagorean theorem to solve for the missing side.
These things can be done in any order.
Make each known side into a ratio like so...
75/6
(Because 75 is the shadow casted by the building, and 6 is the shadow casted by sarah)
and 50/x
(50 is how tall the building is and sarah's height is what needs to be found)
Therefore,
75 50
---- -----
6 x
Do cross products;
50 x 6 = 75 x X
300 = 75x
Divide by 75
x = 4ft
Answer: 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
think of each faction as a pie or pizza.
each one will have the number of slices as the bottom number of the fraction.
now shade in the top numbers and see if it more than your 1/2
you will see 7/8 is the answer since it will be one piece left from being complete or "gone"
hope this helped angel!!
Answer:
$12
Step-by-step explanation:
amount of tax = $0.72
percent of tax= 6%
Let the original cost be x
so that
6% of x= 0.72
solve for x
6/100*x= 0.72
0.06x= 0.72
divide both sides by 0.06
x= 0.72/0.06
x=$12
Hence the cost is $12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio is a comparison of two quantities and can be written in several forms including fractions. It is most commonly written in fraction form or a:b.
To write a ratio, we count the number of each quantity we are comparing or use the variable for that quantity. We write radius:circumference. Recall, the circumference of a circle can be found using 
or 
.
We write r: or r:.
We can also write in fraction form:
or
