Answer:
I. First number, a = 40.
II. Second number, b = 50.
III. Third number, c = 120.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three numbers be a, b and c respectively.
Given the following data;
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
a + b + c = 210
b = a + 10
c = 3a
Substituting the value of b and c into the equation, we have;
a + a + 10 + 3a = 210
5a + 10 = 210
5a = 210 - 10
5a = 200
a = 200/5
<em>a = 40</em>
To find the value of b;
b = a + 10
b = 40 + 10
<em>b = 50</em>
To find c
c = 3a
c = 3*40
<em>c = 120</em>
BD = AC/2
4x+2 = (5x+13)/2
2(4x+2) = 5x+13
8x + 4 = 5x+13
8x - 5x = 13 -4
3x = 9
x = 3
Answer:
27.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.
34 : 30
Find the unit rate:
The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.
Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
34 : 30
/30 /30
1.13 : 1
Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.
Multiply:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
1.13 : 1
x24 x24
27.2 : 24
Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
