If you need part A, draw a person and label them 6 feet tall and a shadow coming off of him that is five feet long and draw a basketball hoop that and label it X feet tall and draw a shadow coming from it that is 8 feet long. To solve, you use proportions 6/5=X/8 solving this you get X=9.6 feet which is the height of the rim. Therefore, the rim does not meet regulation height, since the required height (10 feet) is greater than the actual height (9.6 feet).
Answer:
Y = 32.7°
Step-by-step explanation:
We will apply the Cosine law in the given triangle XYZ,
x = 90 ft
y = 55 ft
z = 50 ft
We have to find the measure of angle Y.
y² = x² + z² - 2xzCosY
(55)² = (90)² + (50)² - 2(90)(50)cosY
3025 = 8100 + 2500 - 9000.cosY
9000.cosY = 10600 - 3025
cosY = 
= 0.84167
Y = 
Y = 32.68 ≈ 32.7°
Therefore, measure of angle Y = 32.7°
Answer:
2.1 standard drinks
(or 2 if you need to round to the nearest whole number)
Step-by-step explanation:
The ABV (alcohol by volume) percentage is a measure of the amount of pure alcohol (as a percentage) of the total volume of liquid in a drink.
So for 16% wine, this means that 16% of the volume of the wine is pure alcohol.
Therefore, if 16% of 8 fl oz is pure alcohol, this means that 1.28 fl oz of the 8 fl oz is pure alcohol (since 0.16 × 8 = 1.28).
One standard drink ≈ 0.6 fl oz pure alcohol
To calculate the number of standard drinks, divide the total amount of pure alcohol found by the amount in one standard drink:
1.28 ÷ 0.6 = 2.1
Therefore there is approximately 2.1 standard drinks in 8 fl oz of 16% wine.
So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one? well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.
