Answer: 11.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by the Pythagorean theorem where;

c² = a² + b²

c is the hypotenuse which is the distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow.

a is the height

c is the length

32² = 30² + b²

b² = 32² - 30²

b² = 1,024 - 900

b² = 124

b = √124

b = 11.1 m

Make a table showing all the possible outcomes for spinning the pointer of a spinner with four equal-sized sections labeled 1–4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of spinners here and the outcome of them is independent. That means

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

There are two odd numbers out of four numbers in the first spinner. The chance of odd number will be:

P(odd) = 2/(2+2)= 1/2= 50%

There are four letters and the desired outcome is C. The chance for C will be:

P(C)= 1/4= 25%

Then the chance will be:

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

P(odd number,C) =50% * 25% = 12.5%

Please awnser questions, no links, no I dont know
Mrac [35]

Answer:

330cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(lh+hw+lw)

(lh) in this formula is length times height

(hw) is height times width

(lw) is length times width

To find the answer to this problem lets make the height 3/5cm the width 10cm and the length 15cm

so now you would do (15*3/5) which is 9. This solve (lh)

then you would find (3/5*10) which is 6. This solves (hw)

and lastly you would find (15*10) which is 150. This solves (lw)

Now that you now the value of each one of these you replace it in the equation as so: 2(9+6+150)

now you solve the brackets which leaves us with 2(165)

now you multiply 2 with 165

and the answer is 330cm

Surface area = 330cm
