Two trees standing side by side in the sunlight one is 50 feet tall and the other is 20 feet tall if the taller tree casts a 18-foot shadow, what is the length in feet of the shadow of the shorter tree

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Length of taller tree = 50 feet

Length of shorter tree = 20 feet

Length of shadow of taller tree = 18 feet

To find:

The length of shadow of shorter tree.

Solution:

Since, two trees standing side by side in the sunlight, therefore the length of trees are proportional to their shadows.

Let the length of shadow of shorter tree be x feet.

Using the given information, we get

[tex]\dfrac{50}{18}=\dfrac{20}{x}[/tex]

By cross multiplication, we get

[tex]50\times x=20\times 18[/tex]

[tex]50x=360[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{360}{50}[/tex]

[tex]x=7.2[/tex]

Therefore, the length of shadow of shorter tree is 7.2 feet.

Part A:Solve for a justify your answer
Part B:Determine m< FNT
Part C:Determine m

Answers

Answer:

A. a = 10

B. m<FNT = 120°

C. m<KTU = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

A. (7a + 50)° and (14a - 20)° are corresponding angles. Therefore:

(7a + 50)° = (14a - 20)°

Use this equation to find the value of a

7a + 50 = 14a - 20

Combine like terms

7a - 14a = - 50 - 20

-7a = -70

Divide both sides by -7

-7a/-7 = -70/-7

a = 10

B. m<FNT = (14a - 20)° (alternate interior angles are congruent)

Plug in the value of a

m<FNT = 14(10) - 20

m<FNT = 140 - 20

m<FNT = 120°

C. m<KTU + (14a - 20)° = 180° (linear pair)

Plug in the value of a

m<KTU + 14(10) - 20 = 180

m<KTU + 120 = 180

m<KTU + 120 - 120 = 180 - 120

m<KTU = 60°

Which rule describes the translation?

it is c

Answers

Answer:

Horizontal shift by 3 units right and vertical shift by 2 units down or(x, y) → (x + 3, y -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Trapezoid 1 with vertices

A(-4, 3), B(1, 3), C(0, 0), D(-3, 0)

and

Trapezoid 2 with vertices

A'(-1, 1), B'(4, 1), C'(3, -2), D'(0, -2)

It can be observed by comparison that:

x-values have increased by 3 units

and

y-values have decreased by 2 units

So the rule of translation is:

Horizontal shift by 3 units right and vertical shift by 2 units down(x, y) → (x + 3, y -2)

Answer:

3 units right, 2 units down(x, y) = (x + 3, y - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

another way is by graphing. (see attached)

the translation is:

   3 units right, 2 units down.

or (x, y) = (x + 3, y - 2)

a rectangular suitcase measure 24 inches long and the diagonal is 30 inches long. the zipper covers the entire perimeter of the suitcase. how many inches of the zipper was needed to cover the perimeter of the suitcase?

Answers

Given parameters:

Length of the suitcase  = 24 inches

Length of the diagonal = 30 inches

Unknown:

Length of zipper required to cover the perimeter  = ?

The length of this zipper is the same as the perimeter of the rectangular suitcase.

  Perimeter of a rectangle  = 2(L + B)

where L is the length and B is the breadth

Now, let us find the find the unknown breadth;

  Using Pythagoras theorem;

           30²  = 24² + Breadth²

            Breadth²  = 30² - 24²  = 324

             Breadth = √324  = 18 inches

Perimeter of the suitcase  = 2(24 + 18)  = 84 inches.

The length of zipper that will cover this suitcase is 84inches.

find standard deviation, o, for the binomial distribution which has the stated values of n and p. round your answer to the nearest hundredth. n =503: p=0.7

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

N=503

P=0.7

Sqrt(503×0.7(1-0.7))=10.28

The standard deviation, for the binomial distribution, is 10.28 which has the stated values of n and p; n =503: p=0.7.

What is the standard deviation?

It is defined as the measure of data disbursement, It gives an idea about how much the data is spread out.

[tex]\rm \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{ \sum (x_i-X)}{n}[/tex]

σ is the standard deviation

xi is each value from the data set

X is the mean of the data set

n is the number of observations in the data set.

We have:

The value of n = 503

The value of p = 0.7

For the binomial distribution:

As we know,

The formula for the standard deviation:

σ = √[p(1 - p)n]

Plug the values of p, and n, we get:

σ = √[0.7(1 - 0.7)503]

σ = √[0.7(0.3)503]

σ = √[0.21x503]

σ = √[105.63]

σ = 10.277 ≈ 10.28

Thus, the standard deviation, for the binomial distribution is 10.28 which has the stated values of n and p; n =503: p=0.7.

First things first you would want to take the letters that the numbers are equal to and replace them with the numbers.

5(2) + 2(10) - 7(2)

Then you multiply the number that's beside the parentheses, 5(2) is the same as 5 x 2.

5(2) = 10

2(10) = 20

7(2) = 14

so now you have

10 + 20 - 14

10 + 20 = 30

30 - 14 = 16

and 16 is your final answer!

A relation between two variables a and b is a rule that takes some values a from a domain set and returns some value b in the range set.

The table says that, if you give 0, the relation returns 2. If you give 1, you get 6. If you give 4, you get -9. If you give 8, you get 8 back.

The domain is the set of values the relation can take, so here it is the set {0, 1, 4, 8}.

From the given choices, only 0 belongs to the domain.

HE is 1/3 the length of HG , HE=x-3 and HG=4x-15 find HE

Answers

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

HE= 1/3(HG)

x-3=1/3(4x-15)

3x-9=4x-15

-x=-24

x=24

Answer:

HE=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

With the data provided, we can set up an equation. Then we need to solve the equation. Finally, we use the just-found value of x to calculate HE.

Data:

HE=1/3 HG

HE=x-3

HG=4x-15

Replacing the last two equations in the first:

x-3=1/3(4x-15)

Multiply both sides by 3:

3(x-3)=4x-15

Operate:

3x-9=4x-15

Moving x's to the left and numbers to the right:

3x-4x=-15+9

Joining like terms:

-x=-6

Multiply by -1:

x=6

Since HE= x-3:

HE=6-3

HE=3
