Answer:

The length of Big Ben shadow is 252.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the Big Ben clocktower in London ≈ 316 feet tall

The length of the shadow Shana casts = 4-foot

The height of Shania = 5 feet

Therefore, we have, by similar triangles;

\dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ Shana \ casts }{The \ height \ of \ Shania} = \dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ The \ Big \ Ben  \ casts}{The \ height \ of \ the \ Big \ Ben \ clocktower}Substituting the values, gives;

\dfrac{4 \ feet}{5 \ feet} = \dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ The \ Big \ Ben  \ casts}{316 \ feet}

The \, length \, of \, the \, shadow \, The \, Big \, Ben \ clocktower \ casts  = 316 \ feet \times   \dfrac{4 \ feet}{5 \ feet}  = 252.8 \ feet

The length of the shadow The Big Ben clocktower casts = The length of Big Ben shadow = 252.8 feet

Find the missing measure for a right circular cone given the following information.
xxTIMURxx [149]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The radius of the cone is:

          r=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The total area of cone is given by:

T.A.=\pi r(l+r)=\pi rl+\pi r^2=12---------(1)

where r is the radius of the cone and l is the slant height of the cone.

and the lateral area of cone is given by:

L.A.=\pi rl=8---------(2)

Hence, from equation (1) and (2) we have:

 8+\pi r^2=12\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\\pi r^2=4

i.e.

r^2=\dfrac{4}{\pi}

i.e.

r=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}
