Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

3 infected           x infected

------------------ = ----------------

50 sampled     6750 population

Using cross products

3*6750 = 50x

Divide each side by 50

3*6750/50 = x

405

Find the value of x, given that the two triangles are similar.​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

10.5 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the fact Triangle CAB has "6" as its length, and Triangle FDE has "2" as its length, you multiply 3.5 and 3.

3.5 x 3=10.5

2 x 3=6

3.5/2=10.5/6, so the answer is 10.5.

The table shows the height of a soccer ball that has been kicked from the ground over time. (For reference: h(t) = 144 – 16t2) T
natta225 [31]
The answer is:

The rate of change is not constant and increases then decreases over time. The height of the ball above ground gets larger until 1.25 seconds and then gets smaller after that time.


Here's how:

The rate of change of the function is defined and calculated as (refer to the statement beloew):

r = [change in height] / {change in time]


For the Table:

refer to the attached picture.

The table shows the calculations for the rate of change (r) for each interval given.


And for the Conclusion,

Refer to the table and notice that in the third ans fifth columns show that:

The rate of change is not constant and increases then decreases over time. The height of the ball above ground gets larger until 1.25 seconds and then gets smaller after that time.

Archy [21]

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A billboard is 27 feet high and casts a 36-foot shadow at noon.

Height of billboard = 27 feet

Height of shadow of billboard = 36 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{27}{36}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75

A fir tree next to the billboard casts a 48-foot shadow.

Height of shadow of fir tree  = 48 foot

\texttt{Height of shadow of fir tree, H = }\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}\times 48

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75
