So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Last year, acres i.e 3.5 acres produced 14,700 pounds of strawberries. So we need to determine how many strawberries were produced per acre.
To do this we divide the total number of strawberries produced by the number of acres it was produced in.
The number of strawberries produced per acre pounds.
Step 2:
To determine the number of strawberries in 5 acres of land, we multiply the number of strawberries per acre by the number of acres.
The number of strawberries produced in 5 acres pounds.
So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.
Answer:
70 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be answered by using proportions based on similar triangles.
Notice that a person and its shadow on the ground form a right angle (therefore they can be considered the two "legs" of a right angle triangle)
The same runs for the tree and its shadow.
Since the inclination of the rays of the sun are the same at the same time for both objects (the boy and the tree), their hypothenuses form the same angles with the ground and therefore belong to similar triangles.
We can create the following proportion to solve for the shadow of the tree (ST) using the information provided: the height of the boy (HB), the shadow of the boy (SB), and the height of the tree (HT)
