Answer:

The height of the tree is 39 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Ht= Height of tree

St= Shadow of tree

Hp= Height of person

Sp= Shadow of person

<u>Ht=Hp</u>

St  Sp

<u>?ft     =     6 ft</u>

22.75 ft   3.5 ft

Multiply 22.75 ft by 22.75 ft and also divide 22.75 ft by 3.5 to get

6 ft* 6.5

? ft = 39 ft

I need help please . 2nd box is multiply choose.
love history [14]

Answer:

First box = 22.5, 45/2, or 22 and 1/2

Second box = square inches (because area is always ^2, or squared)

Step-by-step explanation:

A = B * H

B = base

H = height

Base = 5 inches

Height = 4.5 inches

5 inches * 4.5 inches = 22.5 inches^2

This can also be written as 45/2 or 22 and 1/2

I hope I helped!

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points (20,-16),(19-16)
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Undefined slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula should be y2 - y1 over x2 - x1

Points ( 20,-16 ) and ( 19, -16 )

So ( -16 - ( -16 ) ) over ( 19 - 20 )

0 over -1

The slope is 0. Undefined.

Your computer server recently crashed and you need to make changes to a large manual. The manual contains approximately 16,000 w
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The manual cost that will take to recreate by the firm is $ 90.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of words the manual contains= 16000

Number of words typed by a clerk in one hour and 20 minutes = 4160

To Find:

The total cost for recreating the manual = ?

Solution:

Step 1:  Finding the Number of hours is need to type 4160 words :

= 1\frac{20}{60} hours

\\\\=1\frac{1}{3} hours

\\\\=\frac{4}{3} hours

So it takes  \frac{4}{3} hours to type 4160 word

Step 2 :  Finding the Number of hours is needed to type 1 word  

= \frac{4160}{\frac{4}{3}}

=4160 \times \frac{3}{4}

= 3120 words per hour

Step 3 :  Finding the Number of hours is needed to type 16000 words

=\frac{\text{ total number of words}} {\text{ number of words written per hour}}

Substituting the values

= \frac{16000}{3120}

=  5.1282 hours

Step 4 :  Finding the cost for recreating the manual.

= number of hours  x cost per hour

=   5.1282 x $17.65

=  90.51

Avery can run at 10 uph. The bank of a river is represented by the line 4x + 3y = 12, and Avery is at (7, 5). How much time does
Reil [10]
The minimum distance will be along a perpendicular line to the river that passes through the point (7,5)

4x+3y=12

3y=-4x+12

y=-4x/3+12/3

So a line perpendicular to the bank will be:

y=3x/4+b, and we need it to pass through (7,5) so

5=3(7)/4+b

5=21/4+b

20/4-21/4=b

-1/4=b so the perpendicular line is:

y=3x/4-1/4

So now we want to know the point where this perpendicular line meets with the river bank.  When it does y=y so we can say:

(3x-1)/4=(-4x+12)/3  cross multiply

3(3x-1)=4(-4x+12)

9x-3=-16x+48

25x=51

x=51/25

x=2.04

y=(3x-1)/4

y=(3*2.04-1)/4

y=1.28

So now that we know the point on the river that is closest to Avery we can calculate his distance from that point...

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

d^2=(7-2.04)^2+(5-1.28)^2

d^2=38.44

d=√38.44

d=6.2 units

Since he can run at 10 uph...

t=d/v

t=6.2/10

t=0.62 hours  (37 min 12 sec)

So it will take him 0.62 hours or 37 minutes and 12 seconds for him to reach the river.
