Answer:

27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance from base of lamp to tip of shadow

15 + 8 = 23

-------------------------

tan∅ = opp/adj

opp will be the height of the lamp

adj is 23

--------------------------

tan 50 = opp/23

multiply both sides by 23

23 * tan50 = opp

Use calculator

27.4 = opp

Rounded

27 feet

Directions: Number the distances from the shortest to the longest: 1 being the shortest distance and 5 being the longest. Justif
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: Number the distances from the shortest to the longest:

1. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

2. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

3. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet

4. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

5. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km


Solution:

To compare, all the distances must be in the same unit, for example feet.


a. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km

We must transform from km to feet:

385 km * (1,000 m / 1 km) * (100 cm / 1 m) * ( 1 in / 2.54 cm) * ( 1 feet / 12 in)=

(385*1,000*100*1*1)/(1*1*2.54*12) feet =

38,500,000/30.48 feet =

1,263,123.359 feet =

1,263,123 feet


b. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

We must transform cm to feet:

659,831 cm * ( 1 in / 2.54 cm) * ( 1 feet / 12 in)=

(659,831*1*1)/(2.54*12) feet =

659,831/30.48 feet =

21,647.99868 feet =

21,648 feet


c. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet


d. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

We must transform from inches to feet:

2,521,728 inches * ( 1 feet / 12 inches) =

(2,521,728*1) / 12 feet =

2,521,728/12 feet =

210,144 feet


e. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

We must transform from yards to feet:

161,920 yards * (3 feet / 1 yard) =

(161,920*3)/1 feet =

485,763 feet


Ordering the values in feet from the shortest to the longest:

21,648 feet < 210,144 feet < 446,160 feet < 485,763 feet < 1,263,123 feet


With the original units:

659,831 cm < 2,521,728 inches < 446,160 feet < 161,920 yards < 385 km


Then the order is:


1. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

2. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

3. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet

4. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

5. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km

Slav-nsk [51]
This is a fairly simple question to answer, and just requires establishing which number within 5,438,724,022. In this case, the number that currently exists in the hundred million place is 400,000,000, so to add 100,000,000 to this you will get 500,000,000. When returned into your original number, you will get the answer of 5,538,724,022.
