Ratio and proportaion

assuming the shadow to the actual height is constant

shadow:actual height=12ft:40ft=12/40=3/10=3ft:10ft

so
3ft:10ft=?:21ft
solve
3ft/10ft=?/21ft
times both sides by 21ft
63ft/10=?
6.3ft=?

the shadow is 6.3ft

The wind speed near the center of a tornado is represented by the equation S=93logd+65, where d is the distance, in miles, that
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Therefore,

Wind speed of a Tornado when it travels 4 miles is 121.0 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The wind speed near the center of a tornado is represented by the equation,

S=93\log d+65

Where,

d =  the distance, in miles

S = the wind speed, in miles per hour.

To Find:

S = ? at d = 4 miles

Solution:

We have

S=93\log d+65        .........Given

Substitute d = 4 in above equation we get,

S=93\log 4 + 65=93\times 0.602 +65=120.99

Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth we have

S=121.0\ mph

Therefore,

Wind speed of a Tornado when it travels 4 miles is 121.0 miles per hour.
