If a 40 foot tree cast a 12 foot shadow find the length of the shadow cast by a 27 foot tree

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve.  Put the height over the shadow

40 ft          27 ft

---------- = -----------

12 ft           x ft

Using cross products

40x = 12*27

40x =324

Divide each side by 40

40x/40 = 327/40

x = 8.1

The shadow is 8.1 ft

What is triangle?

" Triangle is defined as the two dimensional closed figure with three vertices, three sides, and three angles enclosed in it."

According to the question,

Given,

In triangle [tex]ABC[/tex] and [tex]AED[/tex]

[tex]\angle ADE = 120\° \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (1)[/tex]

[tex]\angle ACD = 60\°\\\\\angle ACD + \angle ACB = 180\° (linear \ pair)\\\\\implies \angle ACB = 180\° -60\°\\\\\implies \angle ACB = 120\° \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (2)[/tex]

From [tex](1)[/tex] and [tex](2)[/tex] we get

[tex]\angle ADE \cong \angle ACB[/tex]

[tex]AC \cong AD\\\\BC \cong ED[/tex]

By SAS postulate ,

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle AED.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct answer.

A rectangular solid has sides of 10 cm, 6.5 cm, and 8.3 cm. What is its volume and surface area? Volume (to the nearest tenth) = cm3 Surface area (to the nearest tenth) = cm2

Answers

Answer:

V = 539.5 cm³SA = 403.9 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a rectangular prism:

V = lwh

The fomula of a surface area of a rectangular prism:

SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)

l - length

w - width

h - height

We have l = 10cm, w = 6.5cm and h = 8.3cm. Substitute:

V = (10)(6.5)(8.3) = 539.5 cm³

SA = 2[(10)(6.5) + (10)(8.3) + (6.5)(8.3)] = 2(65 + 83 + 53.95)

= 2(201.95) = 403.9 cm²

A triangle ABC is inscribed in a circle, such that AB is a diameter. What are the measures of angles of this triangle if: measure of arc AC = 70°.

Answers

Answer:

Part 1) The measure of angle C is 90°

Part 2) The measure of angle B is 35°

Part 3) The measure of angle A is 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The inscribed angle is half that of the arc it comprises.

step 1

Find the measure of angle C

The diameter divide the circle into two equal parts

so

If AB is a diameter

arc AB=180°

∠C=(1/2)[arc AB]

∠C=(1/2)[180°]=90°

step 2

Find the measure of angle B

arc AC=70°

∠B=(1/2)[arc AC]

∠B=(1/2)[70°]=35°

step 3

Find the measure of angle A

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

substitute

∠A+35°+90°=180°

∠A=180°-(35°+90°)

∠A=55°

Find the area of the trapezoid. Leave your answer in the simplest radical form. The figure is not drawn to scale.

Answers

96cm

The area of the rectangle is 72 (6 x 12)

The base of the left triangle is six and the height is six. Base x height is 36. 36/2 is 18.

The base of the right triangle is 2 and the height is 6. 6 x 2 is 12. 12/2 is 6.

6 plus 18 plus 72 is 96, which is the final answer.

ANSWER

[tex]96 {cm}^{2} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The area of a tra-pezoid is calculated using the formula:

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} ( \: sum \: of \: bases )\: \times \: h[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} ( \: sum \: of \: bases )\: \times \: h[/tex]

From the tra-pezoid

[tex] \tan(45 \degree) = \frac{6}{x} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6}{\tan(45 \degree) } [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6}{1} = 6[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} ( 12 + 20 )\: \times \: 6[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} ( 32)\: \times \: 6[/tex]

[tex]Area =16 \times 6 = 96 {cm}^{2} [/tex]

Which equation represents the hyperbola in general form?

Answers

ANSWER

D.

[tex]9 {y}^{2} - 4 {x}^{2}- 36y + 16x - 16 = 0[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The standard equation of the hyperbola is

[tex] \frac{ {(y - 2)}^{2} }{4} - \frac{ {(x - 2)}^{2} }{9} = 1[/tex]

We multiply through by 36 to obtain:

[tex]9 {(y - 2)}^{2} - 4( {x - 2)}^{2} = 36[/tex]

We now expand to get,

[tex]9( {y}^{2} - 4y + 4) - 4( {x}^{2} - 4x + 4) = 36[/tex]

Expand :

[tex]9 {y}^{2} - 36y + 36 - 4 {x}^{2} + 16x - 16 = 36[/tex]

To get the general form, we equate everything to zero to get,

[tex]9 {y}^{2} - 4 {x}^{2}- 36y + 16x - 16 = 0[/tex]

The correct choice is D.

Which equation matches the function shown in the graph? A) y = x + 4 B) y = 4x + 2 C) y = 2x + 4 D) y = -2x + 4

Answers

The equation that matches the function shown in the graph is y = 2x + 4

Which equation matches the function shown in the graph?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The graph

A linear equation is represented as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope

c = y-intercept

From the graph, we have the point (0, 4)

This means that

c = 4

So, we have

y = mx + 4

Using the point (-2, 0) on the graph, we have

-2m + 4 = 0

This gives

2m = 4

m = 2


Recall that

y = mx + 4

So, we have

y = 2x + 4

Hence. the equation is y = 2x + 4

Answer:

125.66 in. ³

Step-by-step explanation:

2 × π × r × h  +  2 × π × r²

We only know the length of the diameter, but we have to find the radius. So we divide by 2 because the radius is half the diameter.

4 ÷ 2 = 2

So r = 2.

h = 8

2 × π × r × h

2 × 3.14 × 2 × 8 = 100.48

2 × π × r²

2 × 3.14 × 2²

2 × 3.14 × 4 = 25.12

Now add them up.

100.48 + 25.12 = 125.66

15 ÷ 3 =5 (because 5 x 3 = 15, we basicly raised the ration by a scale factor of 3)

12:15 = 4:5

16 ÷ 4 = 4 (because 4 x 4 = 16)

20 ÷ 4 = 5 (4 x 5 = 20 This ratio was raised by a scale factor of 4)

16 : 20 = 4:5

2y = -4, or

 y = -2

The graph of this function is the horizontal line y = -2.  Find (0, -2) on your set of coordinate axes and plot a dark dot there.  Then draw a horizontal line thru it.  This line has a slope of zero (0) and a y-intercept of -2.

Solve for m. 7m + 8 = 8m

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

7m+8=8m

7m-8m= -8

Whenever you move a number for the opposite side , you change the sign. For example, the number is 6 , then you move it to the other side. The sign becomes negative 6.

-m=-8

The m cannot be a negative sign. So you multiply it by -1 and for -8.

-1(-m)= -1(-8)

m= 8

Double check answer if you want to:

7m+8=8m

Substitute the answer for m.

7(8)+8=8(8)

64=64

So the answer is correct. m=8

first draw you line down on the equal sign take 2x and devide itso it should be 14/2 you should get 7 2x is no longer there then bring down 9y and add d to 14 thats 23 so its x =23

We need to solve for x.

2x - 9y = 14

Move the 9y to the right side and use inverse operations.

2x = 14 + 9y

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.

x = 7 + 9/2y or x = 7 + 4.5y

A.) 1057 spots
B.) 2894 spots
C.) 6637 spots
D.) 1237 spots​

Answers

Answer:

D.) 1237 spots

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the following regression line;

y= 89.5 + 0.409x

It is reasonable to argue that the number of commuters determines the number of parking spots and as such commuters is our explanatory variable (x). On the other hand, the number of parking spots is our response or dependent variable (y).

We are required to predict the number of parking spots at the Metro-North Station of Greenwich which has 2804 commuters. We are simply asked to determine the value of y when x is 2804 using the regression line;

y = 89.5 + 0.409(2804)

y = 1236.336

y = 1237
