HELP!! joels apartment building is 42 ft tall and casts a shadow of 20ft. If Joel is 6 ft tall, how long is his shadow

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

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

2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.

that means the angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle all correlate with the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.

so,

42 × f = 6

f = 6/42 = 1/7

the length of Joel's shadow is then

20 × f = 20 × 1/7 = 2.857142857... ft

Find three consecutive odd numbers such that the sum of five times the smaller number and twic the larger number is 33 more than
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

37, 39, and 41

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers are A, (A+2), (A+4)

the equation could be :

5A + 2(A+4) = 33 + 6(A+2)

5A+2A+8 = 33 + 6A+12

7A+8 = 45+6A

7A-6A = 45-8

A = 37

so, the three odd numbers are :

37, 39, and 41

Convert 3/8 to a decimal and percent but pls explain how you guys get 375 pls ;-;
natali 33 [55]
You just divide 3 by 8. when 3 is inside the "house" and 8 is outside, 8 doesn't go into 3 so move on and 8 goes into 30 3 times. and so forth. 30-24=6 bring down the 0. 8 goes into 60 7 times. the decimal is 0.375. the percent is 37.5%.

The area of sector is given by:
A=θ/360πr²
θ=210°
r=10/2=5 cm
thus the area will be:
A=210/360×π×5²
A=210/360×3.14×5²
A=45.8 cm²
