In sunlight, a vertical yardstick casts a 1 ft shadow at the same time that a nearby tree casts a 15 ft shadow. How tall is the tree? (Make a sketch to help solve the problem. Hint: 3ft equals one yard.)
A) 45 ft
B) 50 ft
C) 44 ft
D) 48 ft

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A) 45 ft

Step-by-step

The yardstick is 3ft tall since 1 yard = 3ft. It is 3 times as tall as its shadow. The tree has a 15ft long shadow. The tree should also be 3 times as tall as its shadow. The tree is 15*3ft tall, so it is 45ft tall. I attached an image of the diagram I made.

Add 2x to each side

-2x+1+2x = 2x

1 = 2x

Divide by 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 8 on both sides

-16x=-8

Divide both sides by -16 to get x by itself

James purchased five acres of land fo 75,000 what was the cost per acre

Answers

Answer:

$15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

James purchased a total of 5 acres of land for a total price of $75,000. To find the cost of each individual acre, simply divide the total cost with the total amount of acres purchased:

[tex]\frac{total price of land bought}{total amount of acres} = \frac{75000}{5} = 15000[/tex]

The cost per individual acre, assuming all of them cost the same, is $15,000.

~

Answer:

15000

Step-by-step explanation:

Since

5 acres = 75000

therefore,

the cost price per acre would be

total cost price ➗ 5

7500/5= 15000

Kayla parks her car at the corner of Ogilvie and Montreal Rd. She walks 80m East and then turns 30° to the left towards her office building and continues walking for another 100m until she reaches her building. She then takes the elevator to her office 60m above ground level and looks out the window. She can see her car from here. How far is it from where she is to her car in a direct line?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  184 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct distance from Kayla's car (C) to the door of her office building (B) can be found using the Law of Cosines. The interior angle of the triangle at the turning point is 180° -30° = 150°, so the distance is ...

  t² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(T)

  t² = 80² +100² -2·80·100·cos(150°) = 30256.406

The direct distance from her window to the car can be found from the Pythagorean theorem. The legs of the right triangle are the distance from the car to the building (CB) and the height from the building entrance to the window (BW).

  CW = √(t² +60²) ≈ 184.001

The direct line distance from Kayla to her car is 184 meters.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

67.18,68.82

Let mu be the true population mean of statistics exam scores. We have a large random samples of n=36 scores with a sample mean of 68.we know that the population standard deviation is sigma=3.A pivotal quantity is 3^sqrt(36)=(3/6)=68(1/2) which is approximately normally distributed. Therefore the 85%confidence interval is 68-(1/2)(1.6449), 68+(1/2)(1.6449) i.e (67.18,68.82)

look at the image below plz correct answers Surface area of cones 15 points

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A\approx 282.7\ m^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

The easiest method to solve this problem is to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the cone. Then one can substitute the values given and found on the cone into the formula to find the surface area in order to solve for the surface area of the given cone.

2. Height of the cone

Imagine drawing a line from the tip of the cone down to the center of the base. This line will form a right angle with the base, thus, a right triangle is formed between the line, the radius (the distance from the center to the circumference or outer edge on a circle) of the base, and the incline of the cone. The Pythagorean theorem is a formula that relates the sides of a right triangle. This formula is as follows:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Where (a) and (b) are the legs or the sides adjacent to the right angle of the right triangle, and (c) is the hypotenuse or the side opposite the right angle of the right triangle. Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for the unknown, or rather the height of the cone:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2+5^2=13^2[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]a^2+5^2=13^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2+25=169[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]a^2+25=169[/tex]

[tex]a^2=144[/tex]

[tex]a=12[/tex]

[tex]h=12[/tex]

3. Find the surface area of the cone.

The following formula can be used to find the surface area of a cone:

[tex]A=\pi r(r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2})[/tex]

Where ([tex]\pi[/tex]) represents the numerical value (3.1415...), (r) represents the radius of the base, and (h) represents the height of the cone. Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for the surface area:

[tex]A=\pi r(r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2})[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi 5(5+\sqrt{12^2+5^2})[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]A=\pi 5(5+\sqrt{12^2+5^2})[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi 5(5+\sqrt{144+25})[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi 5(5+\sqrt{169})[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi 5(5+13)[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi 5(18)[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi 90[/tex]

[tex]A\approx 282.743[/tex]

Damaged items are marked down 25% to 40%. A newspaper coupon holder; to an additional 10% markdown of the new price due to the damage. What is the lowest price of a damaged item that was originally marked GHC100?
A GHC 35.60
B GH 5000
C. GHC 18.00
D. GHC 40.80
E GHC 23.40​

Answers

Markdown is the difference (at sale) between the price an item is placed at for retail sale, and the actual price the item is sold

The correct option is; B. GHC 50.00

The reason for choosing option B is as follows;

The known parameters

The percentage by which damaged items are marked down = 25% to 40%

The percentage markdown offered by the newspaper coupon = 10%

The original marked price of the item = GHC 100

Strategy:

Apply the damaged items and coupon markdown percentages to the original marked price of GHC100 sum the results to find the total markdown

Solution:

Markdown due to damage:

Given that the item is damaged, to have the lowest price, we apply the largest markdown of 40%;

40% is removed from the price to which the item marked down due to damage, as follows;

The markdown due to damage = 40/100 × GHC 100 = GHC 40

Markdown due to Coupon Holder:

The markdown the coupon holder is to get = 10% off the retail price

Given that the damage is not mentioned in the newspaper, we have;

∴ The markdown the coupon holder is to get = 10/100 × GHC 100 = GHC 10

Total markdown:

The total markdown is therefore equal to GHC 40 + GHC 10 = GHC 50

The Lowest Price of A Damaged Items marked GHC100:

The lowest price of the item = Original price - Maximum markdown

The lowest price of the item = GHC 100 - GHC 50 = GHC 50
