A ball bouncing is an example of a finite geometric sequence. Each time the ball bounces it's height gets cut down by half. If the ball's first height is 4 feet, the next time it bounces it's highest bounce will be at 2 feet, then 1, then 6 inches and so on, until the ball stops bouncing.

Stolb23 [73]

I have no idea about the part A, but part b, all you have to do is get all the numbers of the fans, and put them in least to greatest. Then you count how fans are from 0-9, then you count how much fans are from 10 - 19, and so on. Im sorry that i couldn't answer it completely but i hope this helps.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

3.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Triangle Proportionality Theorem</u>

BD : DE = BA : AC

⇒ 6 : 10 = BA : 16

⇒ \mathsf{\dfrac{6}{10} = \dfrac{BA}{16}}

⇒ \mathsf{BA=\dfrac{6}{10} \times16}

⇒ BA = 9.6

AD = BA - BD

⇒ AD = 9.6 - 6 = 3.6 cm

A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

<em>Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides  </em>

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish <u>the two triangles are similar</u>, that is, that t<u>hey have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other.  </u>

<u />

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, <u>at the same moment</u>, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where H is the height of the flagpole, h=6 ft is the height of the person, A=5 ft is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft is the length of the shadow of the person.

Having this clear, we can write the following relation with both similar triangles:

\frac{H}{h}=\frac{A}{a}   (1)

We know all these lengths except H, which is the value we want to to find.  

So, in order to approach this problem we have to find H from equation (1):  

H=\frac{A}{a}h  

H=\frac{5 ft}{1.5 ft}(6 ft)  

Then:

H=20 ft >>>>>This is the height of the flagpole
