Hi Melanie!

This problem involves proportion.

Let x be the unknown, which is the height of the building.

height of pole = height of the building

height of the shadow height of the shadow

3.3 m = x

1.78 m 49. 75 m

Solve for x.

(3.3 m) (49.75 m) = x

1.78 m

92.2331460674 = x

Rounded to the nearest meter, the building is 92 meters high.

Hope that helps.

The fraction bars are not coming out (Underline), I don't know why... but yeah, that is the answer.

A spherical balloon was inflated such that it had a diameter of 24 centimeters. Additional helium was then added to the balloon
DanielleElmas [232]
To solve this we are going to use the formula for the volume of a sphere: V= \frac{4}{3}  \pi r^3
where 
r is the radius of the sphere 

Remember that the radius of a sphere is half its diameter; since the first radius of our sphere is 24 cm, r= \frac{24}{2} =12. Lets replace that in our formula: 
V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
V= \frac{4}{3} \pi (12)^3
V=7238.23 cm^3

Now, the second diameter of our sphere is 36, so its radius will be: r= \frac{36}{2} =18. Lets replace that value in our formula one more time:
V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
V= \frac{4}{3} \pi (18)^3
V=24429.02

To find the volume of the additional helium, we are going to subtract the volumes:
Volume of helium=24429.02cm^3-7238.23cm^3=17190.79cm^3

We can conclude that the volume of additional helium in the balloon is approximately <span>17,194 cm³.</span>

If the circumference of a circle is 12, and the angle measure of an arc is 60o, which is the length of the arc?
Kaylis [27]
We can get the measurement of the arc by determining first the radius of the circle. The circumference of a circle is equal to 2 * pi * radius. Hence from a 12 unit2 circumferenced circle, the radius is 1.91 units.Length of the arc is equal to radius times the angle in radians. 60 deg is equal to pi over 3. The length of the arc is equal to 2 units.
