Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = length of flagpole = 12 ft

AB = length of shadow = 14 ft

BC = length from the top of the flagpole to the end of the shadow = x ft

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x,

x² = AC² + BC²

= 12² + 14²

= 144 + 196

= 340

x = √340

x = 18.4 ft

Find how many terms of the following series are needed to make the given sum: 5+8+11+14+...=670?

Fynjy0 [20]

You need 16 more terms not 17 because you already have 4 terms in the series so if you add those 4 terms to the other 16 terms to the series you get a total of 20 terms in total. I hope this helped.

Out of 49 fish 31 are goldfish. About what percent are gold fish?

myrzilka [38]

63.27 % of fishes are gold fish

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that out of 49 fish, 31 are goldfish

To find: percent of gold fish

The percent of gold fish is calculated by dividing number of goldfish by total number of fish multiplied by 100

<em><u>The percentage of gold fish is given by formula:</u></em>

$\text{percent} = \frac{\text{number of gold fish}}{\text{total number of fish}} \times 100$

From given information,

total number of fish = 49

number of gold fish = 31

Substituting the values in formula, we get

$percent = \frac{31}{49} \times 100\\\\percent = 0.6326 \times 100 = 63.27$

Therefore, approximately 63.27 % of fishes are goldfish
