A tree of unknown height casts a shadow that is 18 feet long. If a person that is 5 ft 7 in casts a shadow that is 4 ft long, then how tall is the tree in feet?

Round your answer to the nearest integer. Do not include feet in your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

25.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ft 7 in = 5.583 ft.

We have 2 similar triangles here.

If h is the height of the tree, then:

h / 5.583 = 18/4

h = 18*5.583/4

h = 25.12 ft

Answer 2

The height of the tree is approximately 25.12 feet.

What is Ratio?

The ratio is defined as a relationship between two quantities, it is expressed as one divided by the other.

The ratio of the shadow lengths is equal to the ratio of the object heights.

In other words, if we let H be the height of the tree in feet and h be the height of the person in feet, we have:

H/h = 18/4

We can find h by converting the person's height to feet. Since 1 inch is equal to 1/12 foot, the person's height in feet is 5 + 7/12 = 5.58 feet.

Substituting this value into the equation above and solving for H, we get:

H = (18/4) x 5.58 feet

= 25.12 feet

Therefore, the tree is around 25.12 feet tall.

Find an equation of the plane.
The plane that contains the line
x = 3 + 2t,

y = t,

z = 6 − t
and is parallel to the plane
2x + 4y + 8z = 16

Answers

Answer:

  x +2y +4z = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel plane will have the same coefficients of x, y, z as the given plane. We notice those have a common factor of 2, so the equation can be reduced to ...

  x +2y +4z = constant

This equation is satisfied for every point on the line, so we have ...

  (3 +2t) +2(t) +4(6 -t) = constant . . . . . substituting for x, y, z

  3 +2t +2t +24 -4t = constant

  27 = constant

The equation of the desired plane is ...

  x +2y +4z = 27

The normal to the given plane is (2, 4, 8), and the plane we want is parallel to this one so it has the same normal vector.

When t = 0, the given line, and thus the plane we want, passes through the point (3, 0, 6).

Then the equation of the plane is given by

(2, 4, 8) • (x - 3, y - 0, z - 6) = 0

2 (x - 3) + 4y + 8 (z - 6) = 0

2x + 4y + 8z = 54

or

x + 2y + 4z = 27

Is (2,1) a solution to this system of equations??
8x+7y=11
x+y=3

a) Yes
b) No​

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

In the ordered pair (2,1), 2 is the x-value and 1 is the y-value.

In the first equation, replace x with 2 and y with 1.

8x+7y

= 11

8(2)+7(1)

≟ 11

16+7

≟ 11

23

≟ 11

No, 23≠11.

Plugging (2,1) into the first equation did not result in a true statement. So, (2,1) is not a solution to the system of equations.

Answer: 34 inches  Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has two sets of equal side lengths.    We'll assign 10 inches to the length, L, and 7 inches to the width, W.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2L + 2W

Perimeter, P = 2(10) + 2*(7)

P = 20 + 14

The value of the function f(2) is -10.

Option D is the correct answer.

What is a function?

A function has an input and an output.

A function can be one-to-one or onto one.

It simply indicated the relationships between the input and the output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

To find f(-2), we need to substitute -2 for x in the function f(x) = 5x:

Suppose your family lives in Muntinlupa City (one of the West Valley Fault Line area) and decided to move in to the work place of your father in Teresa, Rizal which is approximately 50 km apart, if renting a van costs an initial amount of 4000php for maximum of 30km and an additional payment of 200php for every 5km, how much will your father pay in renting a van from Muntinlupa City to Teresa, Rizal? {attach only 1 picture of your table/answer}

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

it is 50 km in total.

30 km are already covered by the initial rental amount (4000).

what is left is 50-30 = 20 km.

for these 20 km he has to pay 200 for every 5 km.

how many 5 km units are in 20 km ?

well, 20/5 = 4

so, he needs to pay additionally 200×4 = 800php.

therefore, the total cost will be

There are several frameshift mutations involved here:
