Mathematics

zhenek [66]3 years ago
5 0

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

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probability that an inspector doe not identify  low-quality timber=0.20

(a)Probability that both inspector do not identify a low quality timber

P=0.2\times 0.2=0.04

(b)Let n be the no of inspector

Probability should be less than  1%=0.01

so \left ( 0.2\right )^n

Taking \lnboth sides

x>\frac{\ln 0.01}{\ln 0.2}

x>2.861

thus minimum value of x is 3

(c)From part b it is clear that minimum 3 officer are required to to keep the low  quality timber below 1%

on an average 2 officer are not sufficient to identify 4 low quality timber out of 100

jeka94

It takes 2minutes to make one bag.

If Ashley works alone:

900 bags * 2 minutes= 1800 minutes

Since there is 60 minutes in a hour:

1800/60=30 hours

There is 6 people doing it so:

30 hours/6 people=5 hours

The final answer is 5 hours.

Solve the equation. Show all of your work. 1/59X + 60) = 2/3x- 2
vivado [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5x+60=2/3x-2

subtract 1/5x from 2/3x

when you do that you should get 0.46x repeating

then you add two to 60

you should get 62

62=0.46x

divide x

you get 134.7

What is the mass, in grams, of a liquid having a density of 1.50 g/ml and a volume of 3.50 liters
valina [46]

Answer:

5250 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  Density of liquid is 1.50 g/ml

             Volume of liquid is 3.50 liters

Solution :

Since 1 liter = 1000 ml

So, Volume of liquid is 3.50 liters = 3.5*1000 = 3500 ml.

Now volume = \frac{mass}{density}

3500 = \frac{mass}{1.50 }

3500 * 1.50=mass

5250 g = mass

Hence , the mass of the liquid is 5250 g.
