Answer:

40 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of fence = 8 feets

Shadow of fence = 14.5 feets

Shadow of cell phone tower = 72.5 feets

Height of cell phone tower = x

Height of fence = shadow of fence

Height of tower = shadow of tower

8 feets= 14.5 feets

x feets = 72.5

Cross multiply :

(14.5 * x) = (72.5 * 8)

14.5x = 580 feets

x = 580/14.5

x = 40 feets

Hence, the height of the cell phone tower is 40 feets

Solve the equation.3/4(2a − 6) + 1/2 = 2/5(3a + 20)
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

a = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multi-step equation using the distributive property and rational coefficents (fractions).  The first step is to complete the distributive property on both sides of the equation and multiply each term in the expression in parenthesis by the constant on the outside.  (3/4 x 2a) - (3/4 x 6) +1/2 = (2/5 x 3a) + (2/5 x 20).  When we multiply and simplify, we get 3/2a - 9/2 + 1/2 = 6/5a + 8.  Next step is to combine like terms:  3/2a  - 8/2 = 6/5a +8.  We then need to isolate the variable by using inverse operations:  3/10a = 12, then solve for 'a' by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal (10/3) to get a = 40.

kolezko [41]
• 108 total plastic chips
• #chip > 44 = 108 - 44 = 64 chips
• 64 chips / 108 chips total
• That simplifies to: 16/27 probability

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

An altitude is a very special line. It must start from one of the angles and connect with the side opposite that angle. The connection must form a right angle.

It cannot start anywhere else -- certainly not in the middle of a line which would make the altitude of random importance. It could not be accurately reproduced.

B. In what time will Rs 10000 will yield a compound interest of Rs 2769​
taurus [48]

Answer:

after 8years

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question;

In what time will Rs 10000 will yield a compound interest of Rs 2769​ at 3% per annum

Using the compound interest formula;

A =P(1+r)^n

Given

P = Rs10000

A = 10000+2769

A = 12769

rate = 3% = 0.03

Substitute and get the time t

12769 = 10000(1+0.03)^n

12769/10000 = 1.03^n

1.2769 = 1.03^n

log 1.2769 = nlog1.03

n =  log 1.2769/log 1.03

n = 0.1062/0.01283

n = 8.27

Hence the time is approximately after 8years
