A maple tree is 16 yards tall and its shadow is 12 yards long. A nearby observation tower is 12 yards tall. How long is the observation tower's shadow? Write your answer as a whole number or a decimal. Do not round.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The maple tree is 16 yards tall and its shadow is 12 yards tall

Suppose the angle made by the maple tree is x

[tex]\Rightarrow \cos x=\dfrac{12}{16}[/tex]

For the tower also, the angle made by the tower and its shadow is x

Suppose the length of the shadow is y

[tex]\Rightarrow \cos x=\dfrac{y}{12}[/tex]

Substitute the value of [tex]\cos x[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{y}{12}=\dfrac{12}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow y=9\ \text{yards}[/tex]

A Maple Tree Is 16 Yards Tall And Its Shadow Is 12 Yards Long. A Nearby Observation Tower Is 12 Yards

In the triangle above, the measure of A is 66°, and the measure of B is 68°. What is the measure of C?

Answers

Answer:

46°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Angle, A = 66°

Angle B = 68°

The sum of angles in a triangle is given by :

A + B + C = 180° (sum if angles una triangle)

66° + 68° + C = 180°

134° + C = 180°

C = 180° - 134°

C = 46°

Hence, angle C is 46°

Regina Falange is 173 cm tall, making her line of sight exactly 163 from the ground. She is looking at a hawk in a tree and both are on level ground. The trunk of the tree is 10 meters away from her location and the angle of elevation from her eyeline to the hawk is 30 degrees. What is the hawk’s height above the ground?
a. Drawn a diagram that outlines the situation. Be sure to label the tree, hawk, Regina, the angle, etc.
b. Find the height of the hawk above the ground in cm. (Hint: Remember Regina’s height.) Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer: 7.40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

I went with 163 cm for the height because it says her eyeline is at 163 cm. I don't assume she would be looking from the top of her head so I went with that over 173 cm(h for hawk)

All you do is:

tan(30)=opposite/adjacent

tan(30)=h/10

10*tan(30)=h

h≈5.77 meters

163cm converted to meters is 1.63 meters, so add it to 5.77 and you will get 7.40 meters

Which iequailty model and solution set best represents the possible side lengths of miriam's bulletin board?

Answers

Question:

Miriam is making a bulletin board that is shaped like a square. She has 72 inches of border material. If x represents the length of one side of the bulletin board, which inequality model and solution set best represents the possible side lengths of Miriam's bulletin board?​

Answer:

[tex]x \le 18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Border\ Material = 72[/tex]

Required

Determine an inequality for x

Represent the side lengths of the border with y. So:

Since the border is on the 4 sides, then

[tex]4y = 72[/tex] -- i.e. the perimeter of the border material

Solve for y

[tex]y =\frac{72}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y =18[/tex]

Recall that x represents the board's side length.

Since x will be situated inside the boarder, then.

[tex]x \le y[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y =18[/tex]

[tex]x \le 18[/tex]

1.55y-(5y-17)/100=0.02

Answers

Multiply both sides by 100
1.55y -(5y-17)/100 * (100) = (0.02)*(100)
1.55y -(5y-17) = 2

Simply both sides of the equation
-3.45y + 17 = 2

Subtract 17 from both sides
-3.45y + 17-17 = 2-17
-3.45y = -15

Divide both sides by -3.45.
-3.45y = -15
-3.45 -3.45

y = 4.347826

A group of hikers begins a trip with 30 pounds of food per hiker. They will eat a total of 12 pounds of food a day. If there are 7 hikers, which equation can be used to find y, the amount of food remaining after x days? F) y = 12x + 30 G) y = -7x + 84 H) y = 12x + 210 J) y = 30x-12

Answers

Given:

Food = 30 pounds of food per hiker.

Food consumption = 12 pounds of food a day.

No. of hikers = 7

To find:

The equation for the given situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of days and y be the amount of remaining food.

Total amount is the product of number of hikers and food per hiker.

[tex]\text{Total food}=7\times 30[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total food}=210[/tex]

Food consumption of one day = 12 pounds

Food consumption of x days = 12x pounds

Now,

Remaining food = Total food - Food consumption of x days

[tex]y=210-12x[/tex]

[tex]y=-12x+210[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation is [tex]y=-12x+210[/tex].

Note: Option C is correct if there is -12 instead of 12.

Answer:

x = -13.7142857 or -96/7 or -13 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 5y = 40

-x + y = 40

x = -40 + y

substitute x for -40 + y

4(-40 + y ) + 3y = 24

-160 + 4y + 3y = 24

7y = 184

y  = 26.2857143 (?)

x = -40 + 26.2857143

x = -13.7142857

The Vatican has to be guarded 24 hours a day. Fifteen Swiss Guards are ordered to split each day's guard duty equally. How long will each Swiss Guard spend on guard duty in one day? Record your answer in hours and minutes.

Answers

Answer: Each Swiss Guard will spend 1 hour 36 minutes on guard duty in one day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The Vatican has to be guarded 24 hours a day.

Total Swiss Guards  = 15

If they split each day's guard duty equally, the time they will spend on guard duty in one day = (24)÷ 15

= [tex]\dfrac{24}{15}[/tex] hours

[tex]=\dfrac85[/tex] hours

[tex]=1\dfrac35[/tex] hours

= [tex]\text{1 hour }\dfrac35\times60\text{ minutes}[/tex]

= [tex]\text{ 1 hour }36\text{ minutes}[/tex]

Hence, each Swiss Guard will spend 1 hour 36 minutes on guard duty in one day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " * " or " · " to indicate multiplication; " x " is a variable, not an operator.

(5 + 3) x 2 - 6 => (5 + 3)·2 - 6

Order of operations rules require that we do first any work inside parentheses.  So we have:

(5 + 3)·2 - 6 => (8)·2 - 6

Those same rules dictate that we must multiply before subtracting.  So now we obtain:
