Answer:

AB is 6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get AB

From the question;

CD = 24

BC = 2/3 * 24 = 16

AB = 3/8 * BC

AB = 3/8 * 16

AB = 6 miles

What multiplies to be 280 and adds to be negative 36

photoshop1234 [79]

The two numbers are -18+ 2√(11) and -18 -2√(11).

-18+ 2√(11)+ [-18 -2√(11)]= -36
[-18+ 2√(11)]* [-18 -2√(11)]= 280.

Hope this helps~

If a tree 41.8 feet tall casts a shadow that is 27 feet long, find the height of a tree casting a shadow that is 18.3 feet long

Neko [114]

Answer:

28.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a tree 41.8 feet tall casts a shadow that is 27 feet long

So the Tangent of the angle of the sahdow remains the same for the both trees.

We know that $Tanx=\frac{height of the tree}{length of the shadow}$

$\frac{height of the tree1}{length of the shadow1} = \frac{height of the tree2}{length of the shadow2}$

$\frac{41.8}{27} =\frac{x}{18.3}$

$x=\frac{41.8}{27}\times18.3 =28.3$

Therefore the height of the tree is 28.3 feet
