What is the height of Jack's house, in feet, if the house casts a shadow 56 feet long at the same time a 21-foot tree casts a shadow that is 24 feet long? Express your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

49 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for this using proportion

Height of Jack's house = ?? = Y

Length of the shadow of Jack's house = 56 feet

Height of a tree = 21 feet

Length of the shadow of the tree = 24 feet

Height of Jack's house/ Shadow of Jack's house = Height of a tree/ Shadow of the tree

Y/56 = 21/24

Cross Multiply

24 × Y = 56 × 21

Y = 56 × 21/24

Y = 1176/24

Y = 49 feet

Therefore, the height of Jack's house is 49 feet

Find the value of x. A. 15 B. 28 C. 20 D. 40

Answers

Answer:

A. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

When a tangent and a secant, two secants, or two tangents intersect outside a circle then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

Hence,

(2x + 15)° = 1/2[(10x + 20)° - 80°]

2(2x + 15)° = (10x - 60)°

4x + 30 = 10x - 60

60 + 30 = 10x - 4x

90 = 6x

90/6 = x

15 = x

x = 15

We need to isolate the [tex]a[/tex] variable on one side of the equation to find the value.

Distribute the negative sign.

[tex]a-7+a=5[/tex]

Find the length of AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A. 36.5 B. 46.97 C. 74.63 D. 45.07

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a \: 36.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

cos51° = AC/58

AC = cos51° x 58

AC = 36.5

Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figure above is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find AC.

To find AC we use cosine

cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

From the question

AC is the adjacent

AB is the hypotenuse

So we have

[tex] \cos(51) = \frac{AC}{AB} [/tex]

[tex]AC = 58 \cos(51) [/tex]

AC = 36.5

Answers

The required surface area of given triangular prism is 391.2 cm².

What is surface area?

The surface area of any shape is the area of the shape that is faced or the Surface area is the amount of area covering the exterior of a 3D shape.

Here,
In the figure,

From the figure,
length = 14 cm
height = 6.9 cm
base = 8 cm
Surface area of the prism = bh + 3bl

Surface area of the prism = 8×6.9 + 3×14×8

Mr. Rush wants to store 20.5 cups of spaghetti sauce in containers. Each container holds a maximum of 2.5 cups of sauce. What is the minimum number of containers Mr. Rush needs to hold all of the spaghetti sauce? 1 point

Answers

The answer is 9

Explanation:

We know the total amount of spaghetti sauce is 20.5 cups; additionally, each container can be filled with a maximum of 2.5 cups of this sauce. In this context, the process to know the number of containers Mr. Rush needs to store all the sauce is to divide the total amount by the amount each container can hold.

20.5 cups of sauce ÷ 2.5 cups per container = 8.2 containers

This means 8 containers can be completely filled and a ninth container is required to hold the small amount of the sauce missing (0.2)

If:
AC=26,
BC=7x + 2, and
AB = 9x + 8
Find BC!

Answers

Answer:

BC = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AC = 26

BC=7x + 2

AB = 9x + 8  

Since BC and AB are two parts of AC. Therefore we can write in the following form.

AC = AB +BC

Now insert the given values in the above formula.

26 = 9x + 8 + 7x + 2

26 = 16x + 10

26 – 10 = 16x

16 = 16x

x = 16 / 16  

x = 1

Now insert x = 1 in BC=7x + 2

BC = 7 (1) + 2

BC = 9

Answers

Given that :-

Sum of 20 numbers is 9

To find

Sum of these numbers after increasing each number by 0.03

Solution :-

→ We have to increase each number by 0.03. It means that we have to add 20 times 0.03.

→ So the increase in sum of number will be 20(0.03)

20(0.03) = 0.6

What is the smallest integer n such that 5n + 3 > -10

Answers

Answer:

[tex]solution set={n/n > -13/5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5n + 3 > -10\\subtracting 3 on both sides\\5n + 3-3 > -10-3\\5n > -13\\n > -13/5 is the answer[/tex]

hope it will help :)

Isolate n:

5n + 3 > -10

Subtract 3 from both sides:

5n > -13

Divide both sides by 5:

n > -13/5

n > -2.6

An integer is a whole number, so the smallest whole number that would make the statement true would be -2:

5(-2) + 3 = -10 +3 = -7

5(-3) + 3 = -15 + 3 = -10

Since -7 is greater than -10, the answer is -2
