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

zhenek [66]2 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

Colin pays £766.45 a year on his car insurance.
aliina [53]

Answer:

£807.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Collins car insurance per year = £766.45

Percentage increase in price = 5.4%

How much does the insurance cost now?

Cost of the insurance now = £766.45 + 5.4% of £766.45

= 766.45 + 5.4/100(766.45)

= 766.45 + 0.054(766.45)

= 766.45 + 41.3883

= 807.8383

Cost of the insurance now = £807.84

Find the measure of angle x in the figure below: A triangle is shown. At the top vertex of the triangle is a horizontal line ali
tester [92]
Y = 180 - 52 - 59 = 69 degrees . . . . . . . . (angles on a straight line are supplementary, i.e. add up to 180 degrees)

x = 180 - 69 - 63 = 48 degrees . . . . . . . . (sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees)

Therefore, m/_x = 48 degrees.
