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

NEED HELP SOON!!!!<br> for any numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c)=ab+ac
navik [9.2K]

The property displayed here is the distributive property.

If you have a variable or unknown number inside or outside of parentheses, you can distribute it to each term and add the terms together, and it will remain true.

Example:

4(x + 5)

After distributing, it'll look like this:

4x + 20

A random sample has been taken from a population. A statistician, using this sample, needs to decide whether to construct a 90 p
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: a confidence interval is a range that shows how precise the measurement is. if a statistician decides to construct using 90 percent C I over a 95% C I, it tells you that you have 10% chance of being wrong rather than 5% chance of being wrong while using the 95%. Also a 90 percent confidence interval would be narrower than a 95 percent confidence interval

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

h = -9

Distribute the 2 to the parentheses:

5h + 2(11 - h) = -5

5h + 22 - 2h = -5

Add like terms:

3h + 22 = -5

3h = -27

h = -9

El angulo de elevacion del sol es de 29°12'35''. Calcular la longitud de la sombra proyectada por un hombre de 1,75m de estatura
Bingel [31]

Respuesta:

3,59 metros

Explicación paso a paso:

Conversión del ángulo de elevación a grados;

29 ° 12 '35 "

= 29 ° + 12 '/ 60 + 35 "/ 3600

= 29,20972 °

Resolviendo el triángulo de solución adjunto:

La longitud de la sombra se puede obtener utilizando la relación trigonométrica;

Sin θ = opuesto / hipoteno

Sin 29.20972 = 1.75 / sombra

Sombra = 1.75 / Sin 29.20972

Longitud de la sombra = 3,59 m
