Answer:

8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of person = 2metres

Length of person's shadow = 6 meters

Height of flagpole =?

Length of flagpole shadow = 24 meters

Height of person = length of person's shadow

Height of flagpole = length of person's shadow

2 = 6

x = 24

Cross multiply

6x = 48

x = 48 / 6

x = 8 meters

irga5000 [103]

Given that Jordan has a new puppy and she wants to put a fence around part of her yard to cover an area of 200 square feet.

Now we have to find what dimensions (length x width) should she make the rectangular area. None of the length or width are given so there can be lots of answers.

Since area is rectangular and we know that rectangle has different value of length and width so we just need to find two factors of given area 200 square feet.

For example 20 times 10 is 200.


So the dimension of the rectangular area will be:

Length = 20 feet and width = 10 feet


Now perimeter of the rectangle is given by formula:

Perimeter = 2(length+width) = 2(20+10)=2(30)=60


Hence perimeter is 60 feet.

A roll of paper towels is wound around a hollow cardboard tube. the
blsea [12.9K]

The radius of the cardboard tube of 85th loop of paper is 4.92cm

The arithmetic sequence is the sequence where every term is increased or decreased by a fixed number from the previous number.

Here the outer radius of the tube is 2.4 cm

the thickness of the paper is 0.3mm= 0.03cm

i.e. in every loop the increase in the radius of the loop is 0.03cm

then the radius in every sequence will be  2.40, 2.43, 2.46, 2.49, 2.52, .....

so here it is clear that it is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 0.03.

nth term of the sequence, aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d where a₁ is the first term, n is the index of the loop, and d is a common difference.

here a₁ =2.40

d=0.03

n=85

the radius of tube of the 85th loop will be= r= 2.40+(85-1)0.03= 2.40+ 2.52= 4.92

Therefore The radius of the cardboard tube of the 85th loop of paper is 4.92cm
