A 20 ft tall ladder standing next to a statue casts a 12 ft shadow. If the statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long then how tall is it?

Answers

Answer 1

Given that,

Length of the ladder = 20 ft

It casts a 12 ft shadow

To find,

If the statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long then how tall is it?

Solution,

Let the ladder be x ft tall.

20 ft tall ladder = 12 ft shadow

9 ft tall ladder =

[tex]\dfrac{20}{12}\times 9\\\\=15\ ft[/tex]

Hence, the required length is 15 ft.

If y=-7 when = -21, determine x when y= 9

Answers

Correct Question :-

If y = - 7 & x = - 21 , determine x when y = 9

Given :-

y = - 7x = - 21

We need to find :-

When y = 9 find x

Solution :-

Using proportion ,

- 7 : - 21 : : 9 : x

By means & extremes ,

=> - 7x = - 21 × 9

=> x = ( - 21 × 9 ) / - 7

=> x = 3 × 9

=> x = 27

Hence , when y = 9 x = 27

Answers

Answer:

1). Option (b)

2). Option (d)

3). Option (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question (1)

For Pythagoras triplet,

(Largest number)² = (Number 1)² + (Number 2)²

a). 5² = 5² + 2²

   25 = 25 + 4

   25 = 29

  Not True.

b). 5² = 3² + 4²

   25 = 9 + 16

   25 = 25

   True.

c). 10² = 1² + 5²

   100 = 1 + 25

   100 = 26

   Not true.

d). 2² = 2²+ 2²

   4 = 4 + 4

   4 = 8

   Not true.

Therefore, Option (b) is correct.

Question (2)

1 - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{5}-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{5-1}{5}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, Option (d) is the answer.

Question (3)

Property of triangle → Sum of lengths of two sides of a triangle should be greater than the measure of third side.

a). 6 + 3 > 2 ⇒ 9 > 2 [True]

    6 + 2 > 3 ⇒ 8 > 3 [True]

    2 + 3 > 6 ⇒ 5 > 6 [False]

    Triangle is not possible.

b). 2 + 8 > 3 → 10 > 3 [True]

    8 + 3 > 2 → 11 > 2 [True]

    2 + 3 > 8 → 5 > 8 [False]

   Triangle is not possible.

c). 5.5 + 2.5 > 2.5 → 8 > 2.5 [True]

   5.5 + 2.5 > 2.5 → 8 > 2.5 [True]

   2.5 + 2.5 > 5.5 → 5 > 5.5 [False]

   Triangle is not possible.

d). 3 + 6 > 7 → 9 > 7 [True]

    3 + 7 > 6 → 10 > 6 [True]

    7 + 6 > 3 → 13 > 3 [True]

   These are the sides of a triangle.

Therefore, Option D is the answer.

We are given:

Parallelogram CDEF∠C = 13x - 10∠D = 5x + 10

To Find: ∠E

Concept Used:

Adjacent angles of a Parallelogram are Supplementary

Finding the value of 'x':

Since adjacent angles of a parallelogram are Supplementary:

∠D + ∠C = 180

5x + 10 + 13x - 10 = 180              [replacing the values of angle C and D]

18x = 180

x = 10                                          [dividing both sides by 18]

__________________________________________________________

Finding Measure of Angle D:

We are given that:

∠D = 5x + 10

∠D = 5(10) + 10                    [since x = 10]

∠D = 60°

__________________________________________________________

Finding the measure of ∠E:

∠D and ∠E are Adjacent angles

Since Adjacent angles are Supplementary:

∠D + ∠E = 180

60 + ∠E = 180

∠E = 120°                                  [subtracting 60 from both sides]

Hence, the measure of ∠E = 120°

Complete Question

The formula for the lateral area of a right cone is LA = πrs, where r is the radius of the base and s is the slant height of the cone. Which are equivalent equations? Select two correct answers.

a) s = s equals StartFraction L A Over pi r EndFraction.

b) s = s equals StartFraction pi r Over L A EndFraction.

c) s = LAr

d) r = r equals StartFraction L A Over pi s EndFraction.

e) r = LAs

Answer:

a) s equals StartFraction L A Over pi r EndFraction.

d) r = r equals StartFraction L A Over pi s EndFraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Lateral Surface Area of a right cone is given in the question as:

LA = πrs

Where

r is the radius of the base and s is the slant height of the cone.

From the options given,

We can make s the subject of the formula.

Hence:

Making s the subject of the formula

LA = πrs

Divide both sides by πr

s = LA/πr

Hence: Option a) s equals StartFraction L A Over pi r EndFraction. Is correct.

Step 2

Making r the subject of the Formula

LA = πrs

Divide both sides by πs

r = LA/πs

Hence: Option d) r equals StartFraction L A Over pi s EndFraction. Is correct.

The answer is A and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

FICA taxes comprise of both the Social Security tax and the Medicare tax rate which in 2017 were 6.2% and 1.45% of income respectively.

We are asked to account for 5 flavours 4.34782608696/5

Z test was  0.86956521739 for red candies

s2 = a2/n

a2 = 0.86956521739/1
