The height to the top of a flagpole is 18 feet. The flagpole casts a shadow of 20 feet, and a tree casts a shadow of 25 feet. How tall is the tree?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

22.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion, then cross-multiply

18/20 = x/25      or        18/x = 20/25  

Answer 2

The height of the tree is 22.5 ft

What are similar triangles?

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

Given that, the height to the top of a flagpole is 18 feet, the flagpole casts a shadow of 20 feet, and a tree casts a shadow of 25 feet.

Here we need to find the height of the tree,

We will use the concept of the similar triangles to find the same,

Let the height of the tree be x

So. according to the definition of similar triangles,

18 / 20 = x / 25

x = 45 / 2

x = 22.5

Hence, the height of the tree is 22.5 ft

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, ray BD bisects ∠ABC,

Therefore, m∠ABD = m∠CBD

By substituting the values of the angles,

x° = (4x - 30)°

x - 4x = -30

-3x = -30

x = 10

Therefore, x = 10 will be the answer.

Answers

Answer:

Correct option:

"The total cost of renting a jet ski for $25 per hour plus a fee of $50."

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationships are associations between two variables where the ratio of these two variables are correspondent. Or, in a proportional relationship, one variable is a constant value times the other variable. This constant is known as the "constant of proportionality".

The first three options represents a proportional relationship.

But the last option does not.

"The total cost of renting a jet ski for $25 per hour plus a fee of $50."

That is,

TC = 25·h + 50

The relationship is linear not proportional.

Eighty percent of all dentists surveyed agree: Zilch toothpaste tastes best.

Percent of Dentists Surveyed Disagree Agree Do you think this information is misleading? Why or why not?

a. Yes, because it does not state how many dentists were surveyed.
b. Yes, because it does not state on the graph what percentage agrees with the statement.
c. No, because the graph shows eighty percent of the dentists agreeing with the statement. d. No, because it states which toothpaste was used in the survey.​

Answers

Answer:

a. Yes, because it does not state how many dentists were surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph doesn't show how many dentists were actually surveyed, which is a very important factor in interpreting results. Some people could have their own assumptions in this case. Some would think they only surveyed 5 dentists rather than 30 dentists, which affects the percentage or outcome of the result. The sample size in a survey is very crucial when it comes to conducting a research as well as analyzing the result. It will show a transparent distribution of the survey responses.

Answer:

A. Yes, because it does not state how many dentists were surveyed.

A team won 13 games, lost 15 games, and tied 2
games. What percent of its games did the team win? I need help please!!

Answers

Answer:

43%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total amount of games:

13 + 15 + 2

= 30

Then, to find the percentage of games won, divide 13 by 30:

13/30

= 0.43

So, the team won approximately 43% of its games

Answer: Approximately 43.3%

Work Shown:

13+15+2 = 30 games total

Divide the number of games won (13) over the number total (30)

13/30 = 0.433 approximately which converts to 43.3% of the games won

To convert from decimal form to percent form, move the decimal point over to the right two spaces. Another example would be 0.83 converts to 83%

–sin2(x) = cos(2x) from [–π,π]

I need help on this

Answers

If the equation is

- sin²(x) = cos(2x)

rewrite the left side using the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(x) = 1 - cos²(x)

and the right side using the double angle identity for cosine,

cos(2x) = 2 cos²(x) - 1

Then the equation transforms to

- (1 - cos²(x)) = 2 cos²(x) - 1

Solve for cos²(x) :

-1 + cos²(x) = 2 cos²(x) - 1

cos²(x) = 0

Take the square root of both sides to get

cos(x) = 0

Solve for x :

x = cos⁻¹(0) + 2   or   x = cos⁻¹(0) - π + 2

x = π/2 + 2   or   x = -π/2 + 2

where n is any integer. We get solutions in the interval [-π, π] when n = 0, giving the solutions

x = π/2   or   x = -π/2
