Answer:

150 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shown gives us a picture of two similar right triangle.

The height of the man is similar to the height of the platform.

To find the height of the platform, multiply the height of the man by the scale factor.

Scale factor = the ratio of any corresponding sides of two similar triangles.

Scale factor = 100 ft ÷ 4 ft = 25

Height of man = 6ft

Therefore, height of platform = 6 ft × 25 = 150 ft

Trapezoids A and B are similar. Find the values of x and y.
Wewaii [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

when 2 shapes are similar, it means that all their angles are the same compared with each other.

and all distances (incl. side lengths) if one shape correlate to the corresponding distances in the other shadow by the same ratio or factor.

we have one side (30 m in A and 50 m in B), where we have both measures.

we see that the ratio to "go" from A to B is 30/50 = 3/5.

that means a distance in A is the same distance in B multiplied by 3/5.

and that factor is the same also for every other side.

therefore,

x = 15 m × 3/5 = 3 m × 3 = 9 m

y × 3/5 = 18 m

3y = 90 m

y = 30 m

A quantity a varies inversely as a quantity b, if, when b changes, a changes in the inverse ratio. What happens to the quantity
FrozenT [24]
Let us write the inverse variation in the given in an equation form,
 
                                             a = k / b

where k is the constant of proportion. 
If the value of b is double, there should be a corresponding change in a. 

                                            (x)(a) = k / 2b
                                         (x)(a) = (1/2)(k/b)

The value of x is 1/2. Therefore, the value of a is halved.
