A flagpole that is 28 feet tall casts a 15-foot shadow. At the same time, a nearby tree casts a 21 foot shadow. Find the height of the tree.

Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the height of the tree if you provide the actual length of the trees shadow.

Not really sure what a "toilet for a shadow" means.

Example: If the tree cast a shadow that was 4 feet long we would use a ratio:

Height/shadow = Height/Shadow

28/15 = x/4 cross multiply

15x = 4(28)

x = 4(28)/15 ≅ 7.47 ft

Rounding I would call the tree 7.5 ft tall

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

39.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of flagpole:

[tex] tan \theta = \frac {28}{15}..... (1)[/tex]

Since, a nearby tree casts a 21 foot shadow at the same time. So the angle formed will be equal.

Let the height of the tree be x feet.

Therefore,

[tex] tan \theta = \frac {x}{21}.....(2)[/tex]

From equations (1) & (2)

[tex] \frac {28}{15} = \frac {x}{21}.....(2)\\\\

x = \frac{28\times {21} }{{15} }\\\\

x = \frac{588}{{15} }\\\\

x = 39.2 \\\\

[/tex]

2. the the equation whose roots are alpha³ and beta ³​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a) 2, 6

  (b) 155/8, -155, 8x² -155x -1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The equation in standard form is ...

  x^2 -(4+k)x +4k +1 = 0

Then the discriminant is ...

  (4+k)^2 -4(1)(4k+1) = 4^2 +8k +k^2 -16k -4 = k^2 -8k +12 = (k -2)(k -6)

The roots are equal when the discriminant is zero. The values of k that make the discriminant be zero are k=2 and k=6.

__

(b) a^3 + b^3 = (a +b)(a^2 -ab +b^2) = (a+b)((a+b)^2 -3ab)

  = (5/2)((5/2)^2 -3(-1/2)) = (5/2)(25/4 +3/2) = 155/8 = α³ +β³

  1/a^3 +1/b^3 = (a^3 +b^3)/(ab)^3 = (155/8)/(-1/2)^3 = -155 = 1/α³ +1/β³

The desired equation can be written from ...

  (x -a^3)(x -b^3) = 0

  x^2 -(a^3 +b^3)x +(ab)^3 = 0

  x^2 -155/8x -1/8 = 0 . . . . .substituting known values

  8x^2 -155x -1 = 0

On a coordinate plane, a graph of a floor function has horizontal segments that are each 1 unit long. The left end of each segment is a closed circle. The right end of each segment is an open circle. The left-most segment goes from (negative 5, negative 5) to (negative 4, negative 5). Each segment is 1 unit higher and 1 unit farther to the right than the previous segment. The right-most segment goes from (5, 5) to (6, 5).
Use the graph of the floor function to complete the statements.

Which mixture would taste different? Mixture 1: 1 cup water, 1.5 teaspoons drink mix Mixture 2: 2 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon drink mix Mixture 3: 1 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon drink mix Mixture 1 Mixture 2 Mixture 3

Answers

Answer:

Drink 1 will taste different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the mixtures:

Mixture 1: 1 cup water and 1.5 teaspoons drink mix

Mixture 2: 2 cups water and [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] teaspoons drink mix

Mixture 3: 1 cup water and [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] teaspoons drink mix

To find:

Which of the mixtures will taste different?

Solution:

To answer this, we need to find the ratio of all the mixtures.

First of all, Let us make ratio of water as 1 quantity.

Ratio of 1st mixture = 1 : [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Ratio of Mixture 2 contains 2 cups of water.

Let us divide the ratio of mixture 2 with 2, we get:

[tex]\frac{2}{2}:\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow 1:\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Ratio of 3rd mixture = [tex]1:\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Ratio of drink mix of 1st mixture with 1 cup water is different.

So, drink 1 will taste different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Synthetic division

dividing by ( x - 5) , thus use h = 5
