The length of the rectangle is 14
<u>steps:</u>
9 + 9 = 18
46 - 18 = 28
28 ÷ 2 = 14
Using proportions, considering the relation between the height and the shadow, it is found that the cell phone tower is 50 feet.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
When the shadow is of 8 feet, the height is of 10 feet. What is the height when the shadow is of 40 feet? The<em> rule of three</em> is:
8 feet - 10 feet
40 feet - h feet
Applying cross multiplication:
8h = 10 x 40
Simplifying by 8:
h = 10 x 5 = 50 feet.

Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
