Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexus [3.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some hints: "At the same time,"means you need to set up a proportion (two ratios equal each other).

The shadow is always on the ground.

A person and a flagpole always stands up straight, like a wall (vertical height)

Underline key words and numbers. Draw a picture for sure.

|X 5.5 ft. |

|____________ |____

flagpole=50 feet person's shadow=4 feet

shadow

Since it is easier to work with one type of measurement, change the person's height to feet only. The person is 5feet, 6inches Note: 12 inches= 1 foot, so 6 inches= 1/2 a feet and 6 inches= .5 feet

ABCD∼EFGH AD=45 in. , EH=75 in. , and AB=30 in. What is EF ?
Marrrta [24]
EF = 50 in.

In similar figures, corresponding sides are proportional.  We use the similarity statement ABCD~EFGH to write a proportion:

\frac{AB}{EF}=\frac{AD}{EH}
\\
\\ \frac{30}{x}=\frac{45}{75}

Cross multiply the proportion:
45*x = 75*30
45x = 2250

Divide both sides by 45:
45x/45 = 2250/45
x = 50

WHat is 20/7 written as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth?
S_A_V [24]
To solve this, you just divide 20 divided by 7.

20/7 = <span>2.85714285714

If you are trying to round to the nearest tenth, the next decimal place (hundredths) is a 5, so you must round 2.8 up one more digit.

Your final answer is that</span> 20/7 = 2.9 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
