324 pounds

24% = $\frac{24}{100}$ = 0.24

0.24 × 1350 = 324 pounds

He should collect 324 more pounds of waste paper

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

18.8 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

S - 1.7x = 5.2

x = 2006 - 1998 = 8

S - 1.7(8) = 5.2

S - 13.6 = 5.2

S = 5.2 + 13.6

S = 18.8

Your friend says that enough information is giving to prove that x=12. Is your friend correct?

seropon [69]

Answer:

C. Yes, you can prove that x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

My friend is correct because by the HL Congruence Theorem, ∆MNP is congruent to ∆MKL. The hypotenuse and leg of one right ∆ is congruent to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of the other right ∆. So, enough information was given to prove that x = 12.

A maple tree is 16 yards tall and its shadow is 12 yards long. A nearby observation tower is 12 yards tall. How long is the obse

pashok25 [27]

Answer: 9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The maple tree is 16 yards tall and its shadow is 12 yards tall

Suppose the angle made by the maple tree is x

$\Rightarrow \cos x=\dfrac{12}{16}$

For the tower also, the angle made by the tower and its shadow is x

Suppose the length of the shadow is y

$\Rightarrow \cos x=\dfrac{y}{12}$

Substitute the value of $\cos x$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{y}{12}=\dfrac{12}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow y=9\ \text{yards}$
