A building casts a shadow that is 50 feet in length. If the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building is 25

Answer:

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this question.

We have that:

The shadow of 50 feet is one side of the right triangle, while the height h is other side.

The hypotenuse is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building, which is 250 feet.

So

50^2 + h^2 = 250^2

h^2 = \sqrt{250^2 - 50^2}

h = 244.95

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

2 over 8 divided by 1 over 2 =
Illusion [34]
Answer: 1 over 2 (1/2)

Simplify 2 over 8 to get 1 over 4. Now you have 1 over 4 divided by 1 over 2. Whenever you divide with fractions you flip the fraction and multiply . So it becomes 1 over 4 multiplied by 2 over 1.

2/8 (divided by) 1/2
1/4 (divided by) 1/2
1/4 x 2/1
= 1/2

A golden rectangle is 32cm long.The ratio of length to width is (1 + square root of 5) :2. What is the width of the rectangle in
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Width = 16(√5) - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the golden rectangle is 32 cm long.

Thus, length = 32 cm

We are also told that the ratio of the length to the width is; (1 + √5):2

Thus;

If a length of (1 + √5) yields a width of 2

Then, a length of 32 cm would yield a width of; (32 x 2)/(1 + √5)

So corresponding width = 64/(1 + √5)

We want to reduce this width to it's simplest radical form which means the denominator should have no square root.

Thus, let's multiply top and bottom by (1 - √5);

Width = 64 x (1 - √5)/[(1 + √5) x (1 - √5)]

Width = 64(1 - √5)/(1 - 5)

Width = 64(1 - √5)/(-4)

Width = -16(1 - √5)

Width = 16(√5 - 1)

Width = 16√5 - 1
