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.

There are 32 forwards and 80 guards in Leo's basketball league.Leo must include all players on a team and wants each team to hav
jeka94

Answer: There are 5 guards on each team.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of forwards in basketball league = 32

Number of guards in basketball league = 80

We need to find the greatest number of teams possible.

We will find "H.C.F. of 32 and 80.

Since H.C.F. of 32 and 80 = 16

Number of guard would be

\dfrac{80}{16}=5

Hence, there are 5 guards on each team.

o-na [289]

Answer:

V ≈ 8.67x10^7 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of a pyramid is V= (lwh)/3

Since it is a square pyramid, it means that the length and the width are the same:

Length=755.9 feet

Width=755.9 feet

Height=455.4 feet

So, the volume is :

V = [(755.9)(755.9)(455.4)]/3

V = 86736214.158 ft^3

V ≈ 8.67x10^7 ft^3

Hope this helps!

Mark brainliest if u think I helped! Would really appreciate!

What is the slope for a line that is perpendicular to the line x = -6?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

There is not a slope perpendicular to the lie x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, you are given a line, x = -6.

This is in fact a line with an undefined slope. The slope for a perpendicular intersection is the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

Eg. If you have the line y = 2x

The reciprocal is y = 1/2x, the opposite means negative

So the slope that would intersect this line perpendicularly is y = -1/2x.

There is an undefined slope in this, therefore, you cannot find the slope for a line perpendicular to x = -6.

If it were an option, I would choose "no slope"
