Step-by-step explanation:

an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.

2 objects and their shadows at the same time create therefore two similar right-angled triangular

triangles.

that means the angles are the same, and each side length of one triangle correlates to the corresponding side length of the other triangle by the same factor.

so, when we know the factor of one pair of sides, we can calculate the lengths of the others by using the same factor.

therefore,

1.57 × f = 50.5

f = 50.5 / 1.57 = 32.1656051...

the height of the tower is then

3.1 × f = 3.1 × 32.1656051... = 99.7133758... m ≈ 100 m

A circular pool with a diameter of 18 ft will have a uniform 4 ft concrete walkway poured around it. If the concrete cost $4.25
zysi [14]

A circular pool with a diameter of 18 ft will have a uniform 4 ft concrete walkway poured around it. If the concrete cost $4.25 a square foot, how much will it cost for the concrete?

This can be solve be solving the area of walkway

Area of walkway is equal to = (pi)( 9 ft +4) ^2– (pi)(9ft)^2

= 276.46 sq ft

Cost = 276.46 sq ft * ($4.25 a square foot) = $1174.70

What is the period of y=3cot(4x−3π)
Stells [14]
Hello!

hint: we can rewrite your function as below:

<span>3/<span>tan<span>(<span>4x−3π</span>) = </span></span></span>3(1+tan4xtan3π)/tan4x−tan3π = 

=<span>3/<span>tan<span>(<span>4x</span>) = </span></span></span>3cot<span>(<span>4x</span><span>)

</span></span>now, since the period P of cotangent function is pi, then the period of cot(4x), which is the period of our original function, is such that:

<span>"4P=π"


Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)</span>
