You are 5 feet 4 inches tall and cast a shadow 3 feet long. At the same time, a nearby water tower casts a shadow 74 feet 3 inches long.

a. Find the height of the water tower.

Answers

Answer 1

The height of the water tower is 132 feet

How to solve for the height of the tower

We have the height to be 5 feet 4 inches

then 1 feet = 12 inches

inch = 1 / 12 ft

Then 4 inches = 1 / 12 x 4

= 1 / 3 ft

Height = 5 1/3

= 16 / 3

height of the shadow cast = 3 feet

For the water tank

74 ft 3 inches

= 74 x 3 / 12

297 / 4

the height of the tower

[tex]\frac{height of person}{height of shadow} =\frac{height of tower}{height of person}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{16/3}{3} =\frac{x}{297/4} \\\\\frac{16}{3*3} =\frac{4x}{297}[/tex]

Then x = 132

Therefore the height of the water tower is 132 feet

The volume of a rectangular prism if the length is 10ft is 250ft2.

What is a prism?

A transparent optical prism is a device intended to refract light and has flat, polished surfaces. Prisms do not have two parallel surfaces; at least one of their surfaces must be slanted. Since a triangular prism with a triangular base and rectangular sides is the traditional geometrical shape of an optical prism, this type is typically meant when the word "prism" is used in everyday speech. Certain optical prism varieties don't actually have geometric prism shapes. Any material that transmits the wavelengths for which it is intended can be used to create prisms. Glass, acrylic, and fluorite are common building blocks.

From description, l = 2h = 2w

Since it has a square base,w=h

V = lwh = 2w•w•w = 2w3

Surface area, A = 2(wl+hl+hw) = 2(2w2+2w2+w2) = 250

5w2=250/2 = 125

w2= 25

V= 2(5)3 = 2(125)= 250 ft2

Answers

According to the given statement One and half hour after the summer thunderstorm began, the temperature was approximately 1.0°F flower than at the start of the storm.

How is the rate of temperature change determined?

Subtract the final temperature from the starting temperature to get the temperature change (T). Multiply the temperature change by the sample's mass. Share the product's energy and heat output.

The equation is C = Q / (T m).

According to the given information:

Consider the function t as defined below. t(h)=9.5h – 15.52 +17.4h-10.12

Here,

h is the number of hours after storm began.

The function t represents the rate of change of temperature in °F per hour during the hour and a half after the storm began.

Answers

There are no real solutions for the equation x² + 20 = 4.

Equation, which is defined as the quality of being equal, is frequently represented by a mathematical expression with equal values on either side or by a situation in which numerous factors must be taken into account.

Consider the equation,

x² + 20 = 4

Subtracting 20 from each side of the equation.

x² + 20 - 20 = 4 - 20

x² = - 16

√x² = √ - 16

x = ± √-16

x = ± 4√(-1)

x = ± 4i

Since i is the complex number that is equal to √-1. Therefore, there are no real solutions to the equation.

By using properties of right triangles, we will see that the value of x is 7.72

How to find the length of side x?

In the image we have a set of right triangles, and we want to find the value of x.

Let's look at the large triangle in the left, we know that the hypotenuse measures 18 units and one angle measures 64°, with that information we can get the adjacent side (the dashed line, let's call it A) to that angle:

Cos(64°) = A/18

18*cos(64°) = A = 7.05

Now we know one of the cathetus of the smaller right triangle (the one we can see in the right side). Here we know one angle that measures 20° and the opposite to that angle measures 7.05

Then the value of x is given by the equation:

x = 7.05/sin(20°) = 7.72

We conclude that the value of x is 7.72

The closure property is defined as the completion of a collection of numbers by using arithmetic operations.

The closure property asserts that when an arithmetic operation such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division is done on any two numbers in the set, the response is another number from the same set.The closure property essentially asserts that when we add or multiply any two real numbers, we will obtain just one unique response, which will likewise be a real number. The commutative property asserts that the order of the numbers does not matter when adding or multiplying real numbers.For example, the closure property is true for whole numbers over addition and multiplication.

What is the volume of the toy box?

Remember that for a rectangular prism of length L, width W, and height H the volume is given by the formula:

V = L*W*H

In this case, we know that:

L = 4ft

W = 3ft

H = 2ft

Replacing that in the volume formula we get.

V = 4ft*3ft*2ft = 24ft^3

Answers

The correct answer is option c. $0.79

As per the question:

No. of pea cans in a case = 18 cans

Weight of each can of peas = 12 ounces

Price of a case of peas = $14.22

The information regarding the weight of each can is redundant in this question and therefore, is not used for solving the question

Therefore, the formula to be used for solving:

Price per unit can of peas= (Price of a case of peas/No of pea cans in a case)

Price per unit can of peas= ($14.22/18)

The price per unit can of peas= $0.79
