A pole that is 3.4 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.37 m long. At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 35.75 mlong. How tall is the tower? Round
your answer to the nearest meter.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

89 meters tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Create and use the ratio between the shadow and the object given in the problem. If a pole is 3.4 m tall and it's shadow is 1.37 m long. The ratio between the shadow and the object is 340 : 137 in terms of [length of the shadow : length of the object].

Denominator = bottom number of a fraction.

Numerator = top number of a fraction.

To get from one to the other, just convert the ratio into a fraction where the numerator corresponds to what you are converting to. This is because the length of the shadow × length of the object / length of the shadow = length of the object. The denominator cancels.

Just as the length of the object × length of the shadow / length of the object = length of the shadow.

So since 35.75 represents the length of the shadow, you multiply this by 340 / 137 which is 88.7226277372... ≈ 89 meters which is the length of the actual object (to the nearest meter, or whole meter).

A tree is 4.1 feet tall. It is expected to grow by 14 feet per year.
At this growth rate, how many years will it take for the tree to have a height greater than 40 feet Enter the answer in th

Answers

Answer:

3 Years.

Step-by-step explanation:

4.1 feet = Starting Height.

4.1 + 14 feet = 18.1 feet.

18.1 + 14 feet = 32.1 feet

32.1 + 14 feet = 46.1

Count the number of times you added 14 to your number.

1, 2, 3.

It would take 3 years for the tree to have a height greater than 40 feet.

Answer:

It will take 3 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need the equation:

4.1+14x > 40.

x represents the number of years.

Then plug in numbers till we get above 40.

4.1+14(1) > 40.

4.1+14 > 40.

16.1 > 40.(incorrect)

4.1+14(2) > 40.

4.1+28 > 40.

32.1 > 40.(incorrect)

4.1+14(3) > 40.

4.1+42 > 40.

46.1 > 40.(correct)

How many ways can a person toss a coin 15 times so that the number of heads is between 8 and 12 inclusive

Answers

Answer:

16263 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of coin tosses, n = 15

Number of heads is between 8 and 12 inclusive

For 8 heads, tails = 15 - 8 = 7

15! / (8!7!) = 6435

For 9 heads, tails = 15 - 9 = 6

15! / (9!6!) = 5005

For 10 heads, tails = 15 - 10 = 5

15! / (10!5!) = 3003

For 11 heads, tails = 15 - 11 = 4

15! / (11!4!) = 1365

For 12 heads, tails = 15 - 8 = 3

15! / (12!3!) = 455

(6435 + 5005 + 3003 + 1365 + 455) = 16,263 ways
