A five feet tall man casts a shadow rhat is 4 1/3 feet long. A telephone pole casts a shadow that is 25.5 feet long. How tall is the telephone pole in inches

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

22.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is formed at a specific factor of the original image hence if a 5 feet tall man casts a shadow rhat is 4 1/3 feet long then a  telephone pole casts a shadow that is 25.5 feet long must have a length

5 / 4 1/3 = x / 25.5

where x is the length of the pole

5 / 13/3 = x/ 25.5

15/13 = x/25.5

cross multiply

15 * x = 13 * 25.5

Divide both sides by 15

x = 13 * 25.5 / 15

x = 22.1 inches

The telephone pole in inches is 22.1 long

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: n = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3n + 1/2 = 3/4

-1/2                -1/2

2/3n = 1/4

multiply both sides by 2/3

n = 1/4 *2/3

n = 2/12

Algebra I

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0

Discriminant: b² - 4ac

Positive - 2 solutions Equal to 0 - 1 solution Negative - No solutions/Imaginary

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

x² - 6x - 10 = 0

Step 2: Identify Variables

Compare quadratic.

x² - 6x - 10 = 0 ↔ ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 1, b = -6, c = -10

Step 3: Find Discriminant

Substitute in variables [Discriminant]:                                                            (-6)² - 4(1)(-10)[Discriminant] Evaluate exponents:                                                                36 - 4(1)(-10)[Discriminant] Multiply:                                                                                    36 + 40[Discriminant] Add:                                                                                          76

The diagram shows two right-angled triangles. PQR and QST are straight lines. It is given that sin x = [tex]\frac{15}{17}[/tex] . Find the value of cos y.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \sin(x) = \frac{15}{17} = \frac{23 + c}{34} \\ 34 \times 15 = 17(23 + c) \\ 510 = 391 + 17c \\ 17c = 119 \\ c = 7[/tex]

[tex] \sin (y) = \frac{7}{25} \\ y = 16.26 \\ \cos(16.26) = \frac{ \alpha }{25} \\ 0.96 = \frac{ \alpha }{25} \\ \alpha = 24 [/tex]

[tex] \cos(y) = \frac{24}{25} [/tex]

Television is measured by the diagonal. A 55-inch tv has an actual diagonal length of 54.8 inches. Its height is 27 inch Mr.Schlagers entertainment center is 49 inches wide will the tv fit the entertainment center?

Answers

Answer:

47.68 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

As seen in the diagram attached below we can see that the tv is a rectangle. We are given the diagonal and the height which means we have to find the length. Since the tv diagonal forms a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the length. This theorem would be the following.

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

where a and b are the sides of the triangle and c is the diagonal.

[tex]27^{2} + b^{2} = 54.8^{2}[/tex]

[tex]729 + b^{2} = 3,003.04[/tex]

[tex]b^{2} = 2,274.04[/tex]

[tex]b = 47.68[/tex]

Finally, we can see that the length of the TV is 47.68 inches

C. The circumcenter is equidistant fromeach vertex of the triangle.

D. The circumcenter is equidistant from each side of the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The properties of the circumcenter of a triangle from the options given include:

• The circumcenter is at the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle's sides.

• The circumcenter is equidistant fromeach vertex of the triangle.

• The circumcenter is equidistant from each side of the triangle.

Option B is wrong as the circumcenter of an obtuse triangle is not always outside it. For the circumcenter, there is intersection of all the three lines and it's not important that they should always be outside.

Decimal =
0.875

Explanation:
The answer that has already been given is perfect in and by itself. I just want to give you some methods for doing these type of questions so that you won't stagger when you see these type of questions in exams (like the SAT).
Whenever you see such questions, remember the following things. These are conversions of English words to Mathematical tools.

Put an equal to (

I'll give you an example through a question.
What percent of 200 is 5?
Ans: Replace English words by mathematical tools according to the rules I told you.
x
( What) /100 ( percent)
×
( of) 200
=
( is) 5
In a refined form,
x

×
200
=
5

Calculate x. On calculating, x comes out to be
2.5

So, 2.5 percent of 200 is 5.
Now your question is actually very simple if you follow my rules.
You want 87.5%. By the rules, % means divided by 100. So
87.5

and now using the same strategy, Ans:

Disregard the next section if you know how to convert a decimal to a fraction
Section Starts
First, I'll write the decimal form. Whenever you divide by a number that is in form of 1 followed by
n
number of zeroes. (here 1 is followed by 2 zeroes), you should shift the decimal point to the left side by n places.
In this case, shift decimal point in 87.5 to the left by 2 places. So this becomes 0.875.
This is the answer in decimal point.
Now simultaneously, I'll teach you how to convert a decimal into a fraction.
Here, you see 2 types of "numbers". One to the left side of the decimal point and one to the right side of the decimal point.
Here, left side of decimal point is 0 and right side of decimal point is 875.
Count the number of digits in the number to the right side of the decimal point (Here, the number of digits is 3)
Remove the decimal point and divide the number by a number formed by 1 followed by the "digits" we obtained (i.e. 3).
So, 875/1000. Simplify this, and you get your answer.

Rodrigo practiced playing the guitar 15 1/3 hours over the past 3 weeks.
He practiced for 5 1/4 hours during the first week and 5 2/3 hours during the second week.
How much time did Rodrigo spend practicing during the third week? Use the numbers and symbols to select the equation that represents the problem. Then solve the equation. Symbols may be used more than once or not at all.
15 1/3, 5 1/4, 5 2/3, x, =, and +.

The equation that represents the problem is
a. 15 1/3 = x - 5 1/4 - 5 2/3
b. x = 15 1/3 + 5 1/4 + 5 2/3
c. x + 15 1/3 = 5 1/4 + 5 2/3
d. 15 1/3 = 5 1/4 + 5 2/3 + x

Answers

D, because we already know how much he spent in total so it isnt B, trust me its D

Answer: d. 15 1/3 = 5 1/4 + 5 2/3 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

15 1/3 (total) = 5 1/4 (first week) +5 2/3 (second week) +x (third week)

When you add the amount of time Rodrigo practiced each week, you get the total amount of time he practiced

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the circle is not shaded in, it doesn't count the number it's on:

So it would be a < or >.

Because this is on a number line and the shaded part goes to the left, it will be < because it points to the left.

The non-shaded circle is on 4, so your answer, x, will be:

x < 4

But the answer choices don't have this, meaning you have to simplify all of them.

The first one is:

x + 9 < 5

x < -4

x - 5 < 9

x < 14

x + 5 < 9

x < 4

x - 9 < 5

x < 14

So it would be C.
