Answer:

  • 20 sin 40°  ≈ 12.86 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the street lamp be x

Opposite angle is 40° and the shadow, the hypotenuse of the formed triangle is 20 ft.

  • sin 40° = x/20
  • x = 20sin 40°
  • x ≈ 12.86 ft

Clara created the poster shown below:
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

length=4\ cm\\width=6\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rectangular poster shown in the picture, you know that its dimensions (its width and its lenght) are:

w_1=24\ cm\\l_1=16\ cm

In order to calculate the dimensions of the rectangular  at \frac{1}{4} times its current size, you need to multiply the original lenght by \frac{1}{4} and multiply the original width by \frac{1}{4}.

Knowing this, you get:

w_2=w_1\frac{1}{4}\\\\w_2=(24\ cm)(\frac{1}{4})\\\\w_2=6\ cm\\\\\\l_2=l_1\frac{1}{4}\\\\l_2=(16\ cm)(\frac{1}{4})\\\\l_2=4\ cm

If y varies jointly with x and z and y=40 when x=10 and z=9 find z when x =55 and y=105
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

  z = 189/44

Step-by-step explanation:

The "varies jointly" relationship can be expressed by ...

  y = kxz

We can find k from the given values.

  40 = k(10)(9)

  40/90 = k = 4/9 . . . divide by the coefficient of k

Now we want to find z for given values of x and y. That can be found from ...

  y = (4/9)xz

  9y/(4x) = z . . . . . multiply by 9/(4x)

Filling in the new numbers, we have ...

  z = 9·105/(4·55)

  z = 4 13/44 = 189/44 ≈ 4.2954...(repeating 54)
