The shadow of a tower on the ground is found to be

Mathematics
1 answer:
NeX [460]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

45 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shadow when the suns altitude = 60 degrees be x m.

Then tan 60 = h/x    where h = height of the tower.

When the altitude is 45 we have:

tan 45 = h / (x + 45)

So

h = x  tan 60  and

h = tan 45(x + 45)  so

x tan 60 = tan 45(x + 45)

tan 45 = 1 so

x tan60 = x + 45

x tan60 - x = 45

x = 45 / (tan 60 - 1)

x = 25.98 m

So the height of the tower

h = 25.98 * tan 60

= 45 m.

The initial number of views for a certain website was 15.
AURORKA [14]
Basically what is happening is:
You start out with 15. That 1st week you have 22% more than 15, or in other words 15*1.22. The following week you have 22% more than 22% more of 15, which is 15*1.22*1.22.

Now we can write a function that models this situation:
f(n): number of views
n: number of weeks since you started

f(n) = 15(1.22^n)

We want to find out how many views there are after four weeks, so plug 4 in for n.

f(4) = 15(1.22^4)
f(4) = 33.23

This means after 4 weeks you can expect the video to have 33 views.

40 points | Sierra and Alek each have five cousins. Their ages are listed below.
faust18 [17]

Find the mean for both:

Sierra: 2 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 15 =  53

53/5 =10.6

Median is the middle value = 12

Alek: 9 + 11 + 11 + 12 + 13 = 56

56/5 = 11.2

Median = 11

A: The medians do not equal the mean.

B: Sierra's are more spread out, ( no identical ages and a greater range ).

C: Sierra's mean is less than Alek.

D. Sierra has an outlier (2).

The answer would be B
