A flagpole casts a shadow 16 feet long.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Triss [41]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Shanika is standing near the pole, we can safely assume that the triangle formed by Shanika and her shadow is a smaller version of the triangle formed by the pole and its shadow.

By similar triangles:

\frac{x \: of \: pole}{y \: of \: pole}  =  \frac{x \: of \: shanika}{y \: of \: shanika}  \\  \frac{16}{ height \: of \: pole}  =  \frac{4}{5}  \\ 16(5) = 4 \times height \: of \: pole \\  height \: of \: pole =  \frac{80}{4}  \\  = 20

The height of the pole is 20ft.

Oven tray 700mmx600mm, how many cake tins 25cm can fit on the oven tray.
murzikaleks [220]
All we need to do is to find out how many 25 cm cake tins will fit along the 70 cm edge (70 cm because 700 mm = 70 cm).

70 : 25 = 2,8

It means that 2 and 0,8 tins will fit, which is generally 2 tins because the third one wouldn't fit.

Now we have to do the same with the 60 cm edge:

60 : 25 = 2,4

So again we'll have 2 tins along the other edge, but with less spare space.

Now we just have to multiply both edges to get the amount of the tins that will fit on the tray:

2 * 2 = 4

Answer: 4 cake tins will fit on oven tray measuring 700mm x 600mm.
