A 6 foot man measured his shadow at13 feet 9 inches. Then he measured the

shadow of a flagpole at 125 feet. How tall is the flagpole?(Round to the

nearest tenth)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The flagpole is 54.5 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using proportions, by rule of three.

Each feet has 12 inches. So

A 6 foot man measured his shadow at13 feet 9 inches.

So when the real height is of 6 feet, the shadow is of 13 feet + (9/12) feet = 13.75 feet.

When the shadow is of 125 feet, the height is x. So

6 feet - 13.75 feet

x feet - 125 feet

Applying cross multiplication

[tex]13.75x = 6*125[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6*125}{13.75}[/tex]

[tex]x = 54.5[/tex]

The flagpole is 54.5 inches tall.

There are 18 black and 12 navy socks in your drawer. The room is dark and you

your drawer to be certain that you have a pair of black socks?

Answers

The least number of socks that you have to take out of the drawer to be certain that you have a pair of the same color is 5 and the color is black.

Given that,

There are 18 black socks and 12 Navy socks in your drawer the room is dark and you cannot turn on the light.

We have to determine

What is the least number of socks that you have to take out of  your drawer to be certain that you have a pair of black socks?

According to the question,

The following steps can be used in order to determine the least number of socks that you have to take out of the drawer:

The total number of blue socks is 18,

And the total number of navy socks is 12.

The probability that the socks come out is black socks is,

[tex]\rm P_b = \dfrac{18}{18+12}\\\\P_b= \dfrac{18}{30}\\\\P_b = \dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

And the probability that the socks come out is navy socks is,

[tex]\rm P_n = \dfrac{12}{18+12}\\\\P_n= \dfrac{12}{30}\\\\P_n = \dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

On comparing both the probability,

[tex]\rm P_b>P_n[/tex]

Hence, The least number of socks that you have to take out of the drawer to be certain that you have a pair of the same color is 5 and the color is black.

If a+b=8, b+c=10 and c+a=12, what is the value of a+b+c?

The puzzle is solved by defining each variable in terms of another variable & a number & then making substitutions. Begin by taking each sum to define one of the variables in terms of the other. (Different combinations are available, but I’ll follow the a,b,c order.)

a+b=8 becomes a=8-b

b+c=10 becomes b=10-c

c+a=12 becomes c=12-a

Now subtract two of the equations that contain the same variable. I’ll pick two that contain an a: c+a =12 & a+b=8. Subtracting the latter from the former eliminates the “a”s, leaving c-b=4. Adding b to both sides to isolate c gives c=b+4. From above we can take b=10-c to substitute for b in c=b+4, giving us c=(10-c) + 4). Simplify the right side to c=14-c, add c to both sides, giving 2c=14, & then divide both sides by 2 to obtain c=7.

Replace the c in b=10-c with 7 to

If A = B and B = C, does A = C?

In mathematics = is assumed to be a transitive relationship. Transitivity means precisely what you stated: A = B and B = C implies A = C.

While it’s possible to use = to represent a non-transitive relationship this would be considered an abuse of notation. A ~ B or R(A, B) would be a better way to express the relation in this case.

Similar assumptions are made about operators like + and *. + is generally assumed to be commutative, whereas * can be used for noncommutative operations like matrix multiplication. E.g. A * B != B * A.

Equality in programming is another story entirely.

In many languages = is the assignment operator and == is the equality operator. Assignment is not transitive - it’s not even a relation.There are cases where the equality operator doesn’t define a transitive relation.

Try to develop an explanation that tells how much NaOH needs to be added to a beaker of HCl to cause the color to change. Your explanation can be something like: The color change will occur when [some amount] of NaOH is added because the color change occurs when [some condition]. The goal for your explanation is that it describes the outcome of this example, but can also be used to predict the outcome of other examples of this phenomenon. Here's an example explanation: The color of the solution will change when 40 ml of NaOH is added to a beaker of HCl because the color always changes when 40ml of base is added.
