A 24ft flagpole has a shadow of 9ft. A soldier standing next to the flagpole has a shadow of 2.25 feet. How tall is the soldier?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's form a proportion;

24                    x

____    =      _____ ,

 9                   2.25

24(2.25) = 9x,

54 = 9x,

x = height of soldier = 6 feet

Answer 2

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{height of object}{length of shadow}[/tex]

Let the hight of the soldier be x

[tex]\frac{24}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{2.25}[/tex]

x = (24×2.25)/9 = 6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Ist method - Area of the triangle + Area of the  trapezium

Area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h

here, b = 8 cm but h is not given

so we will find h by pythagoras theorem

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

10^2 = 8^2 + BC^2

100 = 64 + BC^2

BC^2 = 36

BC = √36

BC = 6

∴ h = 6cm

area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h

= 1/2 × 8 × 6

= 24 cm^2

Area of trapezium = 1/2 ( a + b ) h

Here a = 13cm

         b = 25 - 8 = 17 cm

         h = 6 cm

So area = 1/2 ( a + b ) h

= 1/2 ( 13 + 17 ) 6

= 90 cm^2

So total area =  Area of the triangle + Area of the  trapezium

= 24 cm^2 + 90 cm^2 = 114 cm^2

2nd method - Area of the entire figure

Since the figure is a trapezium,

Area of trapezium = 1/2 ( a + b ) h

here, a = 13cm

        b = 25 cm

        h = 6 cm

Area of trapezium = 1/2 ( a + b ) h

= 1/2 ( 13 + 25 ) 6

= 114 cm^2

Question 8 of 19
What is an equation that can be used to solve the proportion?
8/15 = x/6

A. 90x = 8
B. 15x = 48
C. 48x = 15
O D. 8x = 90

Answers

8/15 = x/6

Using cross multiplication let us find the value of x .

= 15 × x = 6 × 8

= 15x = 48

= x = 48 ÷ 15 ( transposing ×15 from LHS to RHS changes ×15 to ÷+5 )

= x = 3.2

Therefore , the equation that can be used to solve the proportion :-

B. 15x = 48

Jay bought a painting on sale for 45% off the original price, for $27. What was the price of the painting before the sale?

Answers

Answer:

 0.55x = $27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the painting = x

x - 45% of x = $27

    x - 0.45x = $27

         0.55x = $27

Divide both sides by 0.55

 0.55x/0.55 = $27/0.55

                  x = $49.09

A poll conducted the day before the student- body presidential election at a midwestern university showed that 53.9 percent favored Mario, the rest favoring Yin Ling. The margin of error was 4.2 percentage points. Should Yin Ling have conceded the election?

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval of the percentage of people that favored Mario = number of votes favoring Mario ± Margin of error

The confidence interval = 53.9% ± 4.2% = (49.7%, 58.1%)

This means that between 49.7% to 58.1% of the people would have voted for Mario.

Hence Yin Ling would not have won the election, since there is a probability that 50% would have voted for Mario

Explain how to write fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 as decimals.

Answers

You start by looking at the zeros
If there is one zero, there’s going to be one place after the comma
If there is two zeros, there’s going to be two places after the comma and so on
For example: 2/100 will be 0,02 while 2/10 will be 0,2
I hope that helps

To write fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 as decimals, the position of the zero to the right of the number in the numerator is shifted a number of places left depending on the power of 10 in the denominator

Reason:

Examples of fractions that has 10 and 100 as denominators are;

[tex]\dfrac{9}{10}, \ \dfrac{15}{100}, \ \dfrac{5}{100}[/tex]

The steps to express the above fractions as decimals are;

Place a decimal point to the right to the number in the numerator as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{9.}{10}, \ \dfrac{15.}{100}, \ \dfrac{5.}{100}[/tex]

Move the decimal point to the left a number of places equal to the number of zeros in the denominator

Where the denominator is a 10, the decimal point is moved left one place and place a zero to the left of the decimal point

Where the denominator is a 100, the decimal point is moved left two places, as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{9.}{10} = 0.9, \ \dfrac{15.}{100} = 0.15, \ \dfrac{5.}{100}= 0.05[/tex]

Therefore, the decimal point is moved left depending on the number of zeros or the power of 10 in the denominator

100 = 10² in the denominator (move the decimal point two places left)

10 = 10¹ in the denominator (move the decimal point one place left)
