Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, draw a picture. The pole is 22 feet tall. Katherine is 5.5 feet tall. She is 24 feet from the pole. The light from the top of the pole to the tip of her shadow forms two similar right triangles. The length of her shadow is x.
Now use similar triangles to write a proportion:
22 / (24 + x) = 5.5 / x
Cross multiply:
22x = 5.5 (24 + x)
Distribute:
22x = 132 + 5.5x
Combine like terms:
16.5x = 132
Divide:
x = 8
The shadow is 8 feet long.
Hey there!
x^2 + y^2
= 7^2 + 5^2
= 7 * 7 + 5 * 5
= 49 + 25
= 74
Therefore, your answer should be: 74
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Simplify 3 ratical- 1000
Answer:
40/3; 13.3333333333333
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the cone is:
(1/3)(pi)(r^2)(h) =
(1/3)(pi)(10^2)(10) =
1000pi/3
The volume of the cylinder is:
(pi)(r^2)(h) =
(pi)(5^2)(h) =
25pi(h) = 1000pi/3 -->
pi(h) = 40pi/3 -->
h = 40/3
