Answer: <u><em>The building is 35 meters tall.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>420 </em><u><em>divided by </em></u><em>24 is 17.5   </em>

<em>17.5 </em><u><em>x </em></u><em>2 is 35 </em>

<em>(im multiplying by two because it says that a person who is 2 meters tall casts a shadow that is 24 meters long. ***)</em>

a triangle has side cequals6 and angles equals startfraction pi over 4 endfraction and equals startfraction pi over 3 endfractio
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

a=\frac{12}{1+\sqrt{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

c=6

Angle A= π/4

Angle B= π/3

Angle C = π - (π/4+π/3)= 5π/12

We want to determine side A.

Using Sine Rule

\frac{a}{Sin A}=\frac{c}{Sin C}

\frac{a}{Sin \frac{\pi}{4}}=\frac{6}{Sin \frac{5\pi}{12} }

a=\frac{6}{Sin \frac{5\pi}{12} } X Sin \frac{\pi}{4}

a=\frac{12}{1+\sqrt{3}}

a=4.39

José correctly answered 80% of the
dusya [7]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

80% needs 20% more to be 100%  so we devide 16 by 4 to get the awnser for 20% witch is 4 so 16+4 is equal to 80% + 20% so 20

two bird populations were studied and formulas were developed for each populations growth. the populations p1 and p2 are given b
STatiana [176]

Answer:

20 e^{k*10} = 60 e^{0.2*10}

We can divide both sides by 20 and we got:

e^{10k}= 3 e^{2}

Now we can appply natural log on both sides and we got:

10 k = ln(3e^2)

Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 10 and we got:

k = \frac{ln(3e^2)}{10}= 0.30986

So then the aproximate value of k is 0.30986 and rounded would be 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following two expression:

p_1 = 20 e^{kt}

p_2 = 60 e^{0.2t}

We know that the two populations were equal 10 years after the start of the study, so then we can create the following equation:

20 e^{k*10} = 60 e^{0.2*10}

We can divide both sides by 20 and we got:

e^{10k}= 3 e^{2}

Now we can appply natural log on both sides and we got:

10 k = ln(3e^2)

Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 10 and we got:

k = \frac{ln(3e^2)}{10}= 0.30986

So then the aproximate value of k is 0.30986 and rounded would be 0.31

The table shows values of of a function F(x). What is the average rate of change F(x) over the interval from X = 5 to x = 9? Sho
vitfil [10]

Answer: the average rate of change  is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is the slope. Therefore, you must use the following formula for calculate the slope:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

As you can see in the table, when x=5, y=-2 and when x=9, y=14. Then the points you must substitute into the formula are:

(5,-2) and (9,14)

Then, you obtain:

m=\frac{14-(-2)}{9-5}=4
