A man is 5 feet 9 inches tall. To find the height of a tree, the shadow of the man and the shadow of the tree were measured. The length of the man's shadow was 3 feet 6 inches. The length of the tree's shadow was 10 feet 6 inches. What is the height of the tree?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

17 feets 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Converting the parameters to inches only:

Recall:

1 feets = 12 inches

Man's height : 5 feets 9 inches = (12 *5) + 9 = 69 inches

Man's shadow : 3 feets 6 inches = (12 * 3) + 6 = 42 inches

Tree's shadow : 10 feets 6 inches = (12 * 10) + 6 = 126 inches

(Tree's height / tree's shadow) = (man's height / man's shadow)

Let tree's height = x

x / 126 = 69 / 42

Solve for x

42x = 126 * 69

42x = 8694

x = 8694 / 42

x = 207 inches

207 / 12 = 17 feets 3 inches

Answer 2

Answer:

17.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two triangles X Y Z and H R Q. Side X Y has a length of h units, side Y Z has a length of 10 feet 6 inches, angle Y is a right angle. Side H R has a length of 5 feet 9 inches, side R Q has a length of 3 feet 6 inches. Angle R is a right angle.

Let h be the height of the tree.

Convert all measurements to a single unit, inches, using the fact that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.

ZY=(10⋅12) in.+6 in.

Simplify.

ZY=126 in.

QR=(3⋅12) in.+6 in.

Simplify.

QR=42 in.

HR=(5⋅12) in.+9 in.

Simplify.

HR=69 in.

ZX¯¯¯¯¯ and QH¯¯¯¯¯¯ are parallel because the rays of the Sun that form them are parallel. Therefore, the angles they form with the ground are congruent: ∠Z≅∠Q.  

∠Y≅∠R by the Right Angle Congruence Theorem.

Therefore, by the Angle-Angle Similarity △ZXY~△QHR.

Find XY. Set up a proportion with the lengths of the known sides and the unknown length (height of the tree).

ZY/QR = XY/HR

Substitute the values.

126/42=h/69

Cross multiply.

42h=69(126)

Simplify.

42h=8694

Divide both sides by 42.

h=207 in.

Therefore, the height of the tree is 207 in., or 17.25 ft.

How long does it take for an investment to quadruple in value if it is invested at 11% compounded
continuously? Type the exact answer as your answer (no decimal approximations).

Answers

Let's assume we have $100 and an interest rate of 7%. For the $100 to quadruple it means that the future value would be $400. Thus, because we are talking about compounding daily we will set us the equation as follows:

100 * (1+1.07)x = 400

Then we will take 400 and divide it by 100 getting:

1.07X = 4

Now we have encountered a problem where we do not know exponent, so we will use logarithm to calculate such and transform our equation to: Log1.07(4)=X

Using our calculator we will find that it takes about 20.4895 days to quadruple the money invested under 7% interest rate compounded daily.

2nd: Using the same $100 but with the rate of 5.5% compounded continuously we will be using A=PERT formula

where:

P (principal) is equal to hypothetical $100

E (e) is a mathematical constant, which is approximately 2.718

R (rate) is the interest rate, in our case it is 5.5%

T (time) is the time required for money to grow

A (amount) is the final amount desired, which is 4 times larger of $100, thus $400

We have the following:

400 = 100 * e0.055t

400/100 = e0.055t

4 = e0.055t

Then we will apply natural log to both sides of the equations and get the following:

ln(4) = ln(e0.055t)

Since e is the base of ln(x) the equation simplifies to:

ln(4) = 0.055t

Using the calculator to find ln(4) we are getting:

1.38629 = 0.055t

Lastly find t

t = 1.38629/0.055

t = 25.20535202

Plug the answers back to the original equation to verify the answers.

1st part of the question answer: t = 20.4895

2nd part of the question answer: t = 25.20535202

Answers

Answer:

B. Angle 5 and Angle 6 are complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of complementary- either of two angles who sum is 90°

As, Line AC and Line DB are perpendicular, Angle DO(the middle point)C is equal to 90°.

Angle DOC = 90°

Angle DOC = Angle 6 + Angle 5

Therefore, Angle 6 + Angle 5 are equal to 90°, so they are complementary.

Benjamin is going to drive from his house to City A without stopping. An equation that determines Benjamin's distance from City A tt hours after leaving his house is D=260-65t.D=260−65t. What is the slope of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Answers

Given:

The Benjamin's distance from City A, t hours after leaving his house is

[tex]D=260-65t[/tex]

To find:

The slope of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where, m (coefficient of variable x) is slope and b is y-intercept.

We have, the equation

[tex]D=260-65t[/tex]

It is a linear equation and the coefficient of variable t is -65. So, the slope of the equation -65.

It means, the Benjamin's distance from City A is decreases at the rate of 65 units per hour or we can say the speed of Benjamin is 65 units per hour.

Therefore, slope of the equation -65. It means, Benjamin's distance from City A is decreases at the rate of 65 units per hour.

Answer:

The slope of the function is -65 which reveals the average speed that Benjamin travels, in miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope shows how much the distance to City A decreases each hour, implying that Benjamin is driving an average speed of 65 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

It must be D  because first of all you need the 1.01 because its a 1 percent increase and because when you write out what it would be for lets say 3 years it would be (310*1.01)*1.01)*1.01 so if we drop the parentheses because this is all multiplication you would have 310*1.01^3 which would be 3=t

Answer:

the pollen grain deposited were initially estimated at 310 with a annual increase rate of 1%

thus, there is an increase by 1.01 every year

for the first year after the year the grains were deposited there will be an increase of 310 (1.01)

similarly the following year will have an increase of 310(1.01)

(1.01) or 310(1.01)2-this 2 is a square

also the third, fourth, fifth....year will have an increase of 310(1.01)3-this 3 is a square, 310(1.01)4-this four is a square, 310(1.01)5-also this five is a square

respectively and thus, t years, there will be an increase of 310(1.01)t
