How many feet tall is the building ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Height of the building = 77 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the building (AB) = h feet

It's given that height of a woman (ED) = 5 feet 3 inches

                                                              ≈ 5 feet + \frac{3}{12} ft

                                                              ≈ 5.25 ft

Length of the shadow (BC) of the building = 55 ft

Length of the shadow (DC) of the woman = 45 in ≈ 3.75 ft

Since, both the triangles ABC and EDC are similar, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

By the property of similar triangles,

\frac{AB}{ED}= \frac{BC}{DC}

\frac{h}{5.25}=\frac{55}{3.75}

h = \frac{55\times 5.25}{3.75}

h = 77 ft

Therefore, height of the building will be 77 ft.

A person suspects a standard number cube is not so standard. Another person rolls this cube 100 times, and it lands on a six 42
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The chance of an average six-sided number cube landing one one number is 1/6, or approximately 16.67%. When rolling a number cube 100 times, the average number of times it lands on any specific number should be fairly close to 16.67.

A 6 being rolled 42 times and 33 times means that it is <em>very likely</em> not to be a standard number cube. Although we cannot know for certain, the chance of this happening is very low.
