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

need some help with geo, could you explain how to do it as well so i know next time not needed but helpful
Setler [38]
You can do this by finding the lengths of RT , RS and ST using the distance formula

RT = sqrt ((0- -5)^2  + (4 - -6)^2)
      = sqrt (5^2 + 10^2)  = sqrt 125

RS =  sqrt ((-3- -5)^2 +  (-2 - -6)^2))
       = sqrt  ( 2^2 + 4^2)  = sqrt 20

ST  = sqrt 125 - sqrt 20

RS / ST  = sqrt 20 / (sqrt 125-sqrt 20)

so the ratio RS:ST = 2:3

Its B

Use two unit multipliers to convert 628 kilometers to centimeters
irina [24]

Using two unit multiplier 628 km is equal to 62800000 cm

<u>Solution:</u>

628 kilometer to centimeter

We will go from kilometers to meters to centimeters.

Start by putting 628 km over 1:

\frac{628 km}{1}

We want to get rid of km and bring in m.

We know that 1000 m = 1 km.

Since km is in the numerator, we will make the  first unit multiplier by putting 1 km in the  denominator and 1000 m in the numerator, so the  km will cancel. So we multiply by the unit multiplier,

\frac{628 km}{1} \times \frac{1000m}{1km}

Now the km's will cancel:

\frac{628}{1} \times \frac{1000m}{1}

Now we want to get rid of m and bring in cm.

We know that 100 cm = 1 m.

Since meter is in the numerator, we will make the  first unit multiplier by putting 1 meter in the  denominator and 100 cm in the numerator, so the  meter's will cancel. So we multiply by the unit  multiplier

\frac{100cm}{1m}

\frac{628}{1} \times \frac{1000m}{1} \times \frac{100cm}{1m}

We cancel the m's and we end up with:

628 \times 1000 \times 100 cm

= 62800000 cm

Thus 628 km is equal to 62800000 cm
