A flagpole casts a shadow of 25.5 meters long. Tim stands at a distance of 15.4 meters from the base of the flagpole, such that

the end of Tim's shadow meets the end of the flagpole's shadow. If Tim is 2.3 meters tall, determine and state the height of the flagpole to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Answer:

5.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate this is given as:

Height/ Shadow

Shadow of the pole = 25.5 m

Height of the pole = x m

Tim's shadow = Height of the pole - Tim's distance

25.5 m - 15.4 m = 10.1 m

Tim's height = 2.3 m

Hence:

x/25.5 = 2.3/10.1

Cross Multiply

10.1x = 25.5 × 2.3

x = 25.5 × 2.3/10.1

x = 5.8069306931 m

Approximately = 5.8m

Hence, the height of the flagpole = 5.8m

What’s the area of this shape
sergeinik [125]

The shape at the top is a trapezoid with width 2 cm and lengths 4 and 8 cm.

Its area is


4+8

-------- 2 cm = 12 cm^2

2


The lower part consists of two congruent triangles. The area of a triangle is

A = (1/2)(b)(h). Here, A = (1/2) (4)(5.75) = 11.5, so the area of both triangles is 23 cm^2.


Thus, the total area is (12+23) cm^2, or 35 cm^2.

You have a square that has a side length of $1$ centimeter. Each minute, $2$ centimeters are added to the side length. After $10
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Difference in area of the last square and the initial square = 440 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the side of a square = 1 cm

Area of the square = (side)² = 1 cm²

Addition of side length every minute = 2 cm

After x minutes length of each side of the square = (1 + 2x) cm

If x = 10 minutes

Length of each side of the square = [1 + 2(10)]

                                                         = 21 cm

Area of the square after 10 minutes = (21)²

                                                            = 441 cm²

Therefore, difference in area of the last square and area of the initial square

= 441 - 1

= 440 cm²

On three rolls of a single​ die, you will lose ​$19 if a 3 turns up at least​ once, and you will win ​$5 otherwise. What is the
kondaur [170]

<u>Answer:</u>

-16 cents

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

We are given that on  three rolls of a single​ die, you will lose ​$19 if a 3 turns up at least​ once, and you will win ​$5 otherwise.

We are to find the expected value of the game.

P (at least one 5 in three rolls) = 1 - P (no. of 3 in three) = 1-(\frac{3}{6} )^2 = 0.875

P (other results) = 1 - 0.875 = 0.125

Random game value = -19, +5

Probabilities: 0.875, 0.125

Expected game value (X) = 0.875 × (-19) + 0.125 × (5) = -16 cents

Therefore, every time you play the game, you can expect to lose 16 cents
