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

The lateral surface area S of a right circular cone is given by (equation given below). What radius should be used to produce a
Dima020 [189]
Given:
Lateral Area = π * r * (√h² + r²)

Lateral Area = 100 in² ; height = 5 in

I find it hard to derive the formula of r because of the radical sign. So, I'll just plug each radius to the formula to check confirm the given lateral area.

a) r = 1.52138 ⇒ LA = 24.98
b) r = 4.658 ⇒ LA = 100 
c) r = 78 ⇒ LA = 19152.68
d) r = 6.7432 ⇒ LA = 177.84

The radius is B.) r = 4.658 inches

How can I find how many 13 are in 33?
ycow [4]

Answer:

therefore, 33 divided by 13 equals 2 and 7 thirteenths (can be rewritten as 2 7/13)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Long division:

13  33

13*2 = 26

33 - 26 = 7

we have: 33/13 = 2 r7

we know that we can rewrite the remainder as 7/13

therefore, 33 divided by 13 equals 2 and 7 thirteenths (can be rewritten as 2 7/13)

To paint a sunset, you make a shade of orange paint using 55 drops of red paint for every 88 drops of yellow paint. If you use 1
alexandr402 [8]
Since the ratio of red drops to yellow drops is 55:88 and you have 1515 red drops, the yellow drops needed is given as
If 55=1515
   88=?
88/55*1515=2424
therefore 2424 drops of yellow will be needed to make a shade of orange
