Answer:

448

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion question. Keep the heights on one side of the proportion and the shadow length on the other.

height ratio shadow ratio

40 cm / x = 25 / 280 Cross multiply

25x = 40 * 280 Combine

25x = 11200 Divide by 25

x = 11200/25

x = 448 cm

The height of the corn plant is 448 cm

What is the area of the sector with a central angle of 49° and a radius of 11 cm? Use 3.14 for pi and round your final answer to

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{51.71 cm}^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angle θ is in radians, the formula for the area (A) of a sector of a circle is

A = ½r²θ

If θ is in degrees

$A = \dfrac{1}{2}r^{2}\theta \times \dfrac{\pi \text{ rad}}{180^{\circ}}= \pi r^{2}\times\dfrac{\theta }{360}$

Data:

θ = 49°

r = 11 cm

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}A& = &3.14\times 11^{2}\times\dfrac{49}{360}\\\\ & = &3.14 \times 121 \times 0.1361\\ & = & \mathbf{51.71}\\\end{array}\\\text{The area of the sector is }\boxed{\textbf{51.71 cm}^{2}}$

Solve for the value of x: x/2 + x/3 = 2x/5 + 3 , also I need a very thorough explanation for this.

Alona [7]

Answer:

$x=\frac{90}{13} .$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{2} +\frac{x}{3} =\frac{2x}{5} +3;$

$30*(\frac{x}{2} +\frac{x}{3} )=30*(\frac{2x}{5} +3);$

15x+10x=12x+90; ⇔ 13x=90;

$x=\frac{90}{13}.$
