A tree of unknown height casts a shadow that is 18 feet long. If a person that is 5 ft 7 in casts a shadow that is 4 ft long, then how tall is the tree in feet?

Round your answer to the nearest integer. Do not include feet in your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

25.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ft 7 in = 5.583 ft.

We have 2 similar triangles here.

If h is the height of the tree, then:

h / 5.583 = 18/4

h = 18*5.583/4

h = 25.12 ft

Answer 2

The height of the tree is approximately 25.12 feet.

What is Ratio?

The ratio is defined as a relationship between two quantities, it is expressed as one divided by the other.

The ratio of the shadow lengths is equal to the ratio of the object heights.

In other words, if we let H be the height of the tree in feet and h be the height of the person in feet, we have:

H/h = 18/4

We can find h by converting the person's height to feet. Since 1 inch is equal to 1/12 foot, the person's height in feet is 5 + 7/12 = 5.58 feet.

Substituting this value into the equation above and solving for H, we get:

H = (18/4) x 5.58 feet

= 25.12 feet

Therefore, the tree is around 25.12 feet tall.

Well given that y=7-2 and that y=5, we do not know the value of x, therefore x could be any real number with y being 5. I'm pretty sure that answered your question. So, a example of an ordered pair that would fit this rule would be say (5,5) or (7,5)

Answer:

S 32, W 128, M 96

Step-by-step explanation:

W = 4S

S = 1/3M, or 3S = M

S + W + M = 256

Substitute

S + 4S + 3S = 256

8S = 256, S = 32

S = 32

W = 4S = 128

M = 3S = 96

Suppose a special discount makes the price of Nike air max shoes 10% lower. As result, there is a 20% increase in the quantity demanded for the shoes, which statement is correct ____?

Answers

It is evident from the problem statement that an overall price reduction of Nike air max shoes will lead to an increase in the demand for the shoe.

In Economics,  the relationship between price and demand is stated as follows "If all other factors remain equal, the higher the price of a good, the fewer people will demand that good. In other words, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and vice versa."

In all, the Law of Demand tells us that if more people want to buy something, given a limited supply, the price of that thing will be bid higher, also of the price of something is low the demand will be high.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have identical slopes

4x - 7y = 9

7y = 4x - 9

y = (4/7)x - 9/7

so the parallel line has form

y = (4/7)x + b

plug in the point on the line

3 = (4/7)7 + b

b = -1

y = (4/7)x - 1

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, as shown below. Solve for b. Then explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both angles are diagonal each other, they are equal to each other.

5b = b + 56

-b      -b           (subtract b from both sides)

4b = 56

4       4            (divide both sides by 4 to solve for b)

Sammy's Chipmunk & Squirrel Observations
For a science project, Sammy observed a chipmunk and a squirrel stashing
acorns in holes. The chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug. The
squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug. They each hid the same number
of acorns, although the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes. How many acorns did the
chipmunk hide?

Answers

Answer:12 accorns

Step-by-step explanation:

If they each hid the same number of acorns, although the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes, the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each hole

Let's assume the number of holes the chipmunk dug is 'c', and the number of acorns it hid in each hole is 'x'. Similarly, let's assume the number of holes the squirrel dug is 's', and the number of acorns it hid in each hole is 'y'.

According to the information provided, the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug, so x = 3. The squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug, so y = 4.

Both the chipmunk and squirrel hid the same number of acorns, so cx = sy.

Also, the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes, so s = c - 4.

Now, we can use the information to set up a system of equations:

cx = sy

c - 4 = s

Substitute the value of s from the second equation into the first equation:

c(c - 4) = 3(c - 4)

Expand the equation:

c² - 4c = 3c - 12

Now, bring all terms to one side of the equation:

c² - 4c - 3c + 12 = 0

Combine like terms:

c² - 7c + 12 = 0

Now, factor the quadratic equation:

(c - 3)(c - 4) = 0

Now, set each factor to zero and solve for 'c':

c - 3 = 0 => c = 3

c - 4 = 0 => c = 4

Since the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each hole, the correct answer is The chipmunk hid 3 acorns.

The game starts as follows. You pick one medal without unwrapping it, and then the game host unwraps one of the remaining medals and reveals that it is a silver medal. (Assume here that the host unwraps a medal with equal probability, but knowing where the gold medal was and avoiding unwrapping the gold medal if still on the table, to keep the game interesting to watch until the end.) You have now three medals left to unwrap (one in your hand, two on the table). At this point, the host gives you the option to change your mind and swap your medal for one of the two left on the table. What would you do at this point? Would you keep your medal, or swap it with one of the two medals left on the table? If so, which one?
