Answer:
27.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.
34 : 30
Find the unit rate:
The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.
Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
34 : 30
/30 /30
1.13 : 1
Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.
Multiply:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
1.13 : 1
x24 x24
27.2 : 24
Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
195.638
that's some weird logic but ok
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out
