Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
Alright so the answer would be letter B, because
win-to-loss
49 to 21 (You can determine her losses by subtracted the number of wins from her total number of games played)
Now you must simplify your answer
7 is the greatest common factor (GCF) of both 49 and 21
Now divide both 49 and 21 by 7 to get
7 to 3
Answer: the area of the finished tarp is 131872 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Search strip of tarp is rectangular. The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as
Area = length × width
An order was placed for a rectangular tarp that will be made up of 8 strips of fabric. Each strip is 26 inches wide and 634 feet long. The area of each strip of tarp is
Area = 26 × 634 = 16484 square inches
Therefore, the area of the finished tarp would be
8 × 16484 = 131872 square inches
Answer:
x = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
= 
= 3
multiply both sides by (x - 10)
3(x - 10) = 39 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x - 10 = 13 ( add 10 to both sides )
x = 23
