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

Could someone explain things like radicals with variables that are raised to powers. plz,
Setler79 [48]

When radicals (square roots) include variables, they are still simplified the same way. We just have to work with variables as well as numbers

1) Factor the radicand (the numbers/variables inside the square root). Factor the number into its prime factors and expand the variable(s).

2) Bring any factor listed twice in the radicand to the outside

670<br> If a die is rolled 3 times, what is the total number of possible outcomes?
Triss [41]
There is to say, for each first roll, we start out with six possibilities; for each of these, there are six possibilities for the second roll; finally, for each second roll, there are six possibilities for the third. So, 6 cubed. So, 216 is our denominator, i.e., the number of all possible outcomes.

Answer: 216
