Answer:
telephone pole height = 480ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the shadow that an object casts is proportional to the height of the object. Then one can form the ratio:
[tex](shadow : height)[/tex]
Making the assumption that this ratio is proportional for all objects in this given scenario, then one can say that the ratio of the height of the man and his shadow is equal to the ratio of the height of the telephone pole and its shadow:
(man's height) : (man's shadow) = (pole's height) : ( pole's shadow)
Substitute:
6ft : 4ft 6in = (telephone pole hiehgt) : 30ft
Convert to inches (since it is all in the same unit now, one's doesn't need to write the unit anymore):
72 : 54 = (telephone pole height) : 360
Simplify:
4 : 3 = (telephone pole height) : 360
Now solve, use cross products:
3(telephone pole height) = 1440
Inverse operations,
3(telephone pole height) = 1440
/3 /3
telephone pole height = 480

Brian recorded the number of commercials played during two types of television shows: an educational documentary and a primetime drama. Both types of shows lasted 1 hour, including commercials. He recorded the number of commercials for 10 episodes of each type of show.
Answers
Answer:
[tex]m(x)_A = 5.2[/tex] --- Mean absolute deviation of educational documentary
[tex]m(x)_B = 4.7[/tex] --- Mean absolute deviation of prime time drama
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]n = 10[/tex]
See attachment for table
Required
Determine the mean absolute deviation of each
Mean absolute deviation m(x) is calculated as:
[tex]m(x) = \frac{1}{n}\sum |x - \mu|[/tex]
For Educational Documentary
First, calculate the mean
[tex]\mu = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
So:
[tex]\mu_A = \frac{26 + 28 + 30 + 18+27 + 18 + 20 +31+17+17}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_A = \frac{232}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_A = 23.2[/tex]
The mean absolute deviation is then calculated as:
[tex]m(x)_A = \frac{1}{n}\sum |x - \mu_A|[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_A = \frac{1}{10}(|26 -23.2| +|28 -23.2| +|30 -23.2| +|18 -23.2| +|27 -23.2| +|18 -23.2| +|20 -23.2| +|31 -23.2| +|17 -23.2| +|17 -23.2|)[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_A = \frac{1}{10}(|2.8| +|4.8| +|6.8| +|-5.2| +|3.8| +|-5.2| +|-3.2| +|7.8| +|-6.2| +|-6.2|)[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_A = \frac{1}{10}(2.8 +4.8 +6.8 +5.2 +3.8 +5.2 +3.2 +7.8 +6.2 +6.2)[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_A = \frac{1}{10}*52[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_A = 5.2[/tex]
For Prime time Drama
First, calculate the mean
[tex]\mu = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
So:
[tex]\mu_B = \frac{39+39+35+29+40+27+41+29+32+30}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_B = \frac{341}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_B = 34.1[/tex]
The mean absolute deviation is then calculated as:
[tex]m(x)_B = \frac{1}{n}\sum |x - \mu_B|[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_B = \frac{1}{10}(|39-34.1|+|39-34.1|+|35-34.1|+|29-34.1|+|40-34.1|+|27-34.1|+|41-34.1|+|29-34.1|+|32-34.1|+|30-34.1|)[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_B = \frac{1}{10}(|4.9|+|4.9|+|0.9|+|-5.1|+|5.9|+|-7.1|+|6.9|+|-5.1|+|-2.1|+|-4.1|)[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_B = \frac{1}{10}(4.9+4.9+0.9+5.1+5.9+7.1+6.9+5.1+2.1+4.1)[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_B = \frac{1}{10}*47[/tex]
[tex]m(x)_B = 4.7[/tex]

#CMIIW?????????????????????
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
the total angles of the triangle are 180°
so,
180° = (x - 10) + (2x + 5) + 35°
180° - 35° = (x - 10) + (2x + 5)
145° = 2x + x + 5 - 10
145° = 3x - 5
145° + 5 = 3x
150° = 3x

30+2*75=
...
180
Answer:
30 + 2x = 180
Step-by-step explanation:
This is becuase we know this triangle is an isosceles triangle. (The two markings on the sides prove that.) An isosceles triangle is when two sides (so naturally also two angles) are the same. This means the other angle is x. We know that if we add all of the angles, we'll get 180. So, 30 + x + x = 180 or "30 + 2x = 180".
Also, x = 75.
Here:
30 + 2x = 180
30 - 30 + 2x = 180 - 30
2x = 150
2x / 2 = 150 / 2
x = 75

The longer leg
The following relationship exists in a 30-60-90 triangle.

What package is the Best Buy?
Answers
Answer: The answer is 8 lb for $18.80
That is the answer because you have to divide in order to see which is the best buy
You have to divide $4.98 by 2lb and you will get 2.49, divide $12.25 by 5lb which equals 2.45, divide $18.80 and you will get 2.35, divide $23.70 by 10lb and you will get 2.37. So therefore you answer is C.8lb for $18.80 because 2.35 is better than the other deals.

The total number of hours tea that Trent has practiced his guitar after D days is modeled by the equation shown t=3d
Answers
Answer:
The complete table is
d t
1 3
3 9
5 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the correct and complete question:
The total number of hours, t, that Trent has practiced his guitar after d days is modeled by the equation t = 3d.
Complete the table below.
d t
1
3
15
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first space, we are to determine the value of t when d is 1
From the given equation, t = 3d, put d = 1 and determine t
t = 3d
∴ t = 3(1) = 3×1
t = 3
For the second space , we are to determine the value of t when d is 3
Put d = 3 in the equation to determine t
t = 3d
∴ t= 3(3) = 3×3
t = 9
For the third space, we are to determine the value of d when t is 15.
Put t = 15 in the equation and then find d
t = 3d
∴ 15 = 3d
Divide both sides by 3
15/3 = 3d/3
5 = d
∴ d = 5
