When the sun is at a certain angle in the sky, a 100 foot building will cast a 25 foot shadow. How y’all is a person if he casts

a 1.5 foot shadow at the same time?

The height of the building, which is 100 ft, is four times greater than the shadow it casts, measuring 25 ft. Similarly, by maintaining this ratio, a person whose shadow is 1.5 ft tall will stand at four times that length, resulting in... 4 × (1.5 ft) = 6.0 ft. Therefore, the person's height is 6 ft.

You are given a rectangular sheet of cardboard that measures 11 in. by 8.5 in. (see the diagram below). A small square of the sa
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

Terrence's

Step-by-step explanation:

The cut length of the square corresponds to the box height.

1. a

In Anya's approach: 8.5 - 1.5 = 7, 11 - 1.5 = 9.5; with the height being 1.5, the volume calculates as height x length x width = 1.5 x 9.5 x 7 = 99.75 square inches.

Terrence's method: 8.5 - 3 = 5.5, 11 - 3 = 8. Volume = 5.5 x 8 x 3 = 132 square inches. Clearly, 99.75 < 132 square inches, indicating Terrence's approach would yield a larger volume.

1. b

The dimensions of the box rely on the length, width, and height of the cardboard cutout, thus varying cutting measurements for the same cardboard size can produce different box dimensions.

2. Squares are cut from each corner, thus the combined size of the two squares on the cardboard must be less than the shorter cardboard side. The shorter side is 8.5 inches, which divided by 2 results in 4.25 inches, therefore squares cannot exceed this size. If squares are taken out measuring 4.25 inches, it will leave a strip 2.5 inches wide that cannot form a box.

To cut out squares of 5 inches, how you position them can cause overlap or extend beyond the cardboard. While 5 + 5 equals ten, making the longer side of 11 inches adequate, the 8.5 inches side allows zero room for the 10 inches.

For the month of June, Mae Green budgeted the following amounts: $180 for food, $475 for rent, $15 for transportation, $50 for i
tester [12383]
Question 1

Total budget sums up to 180 + 475 + 15 + 50 + 65 + 25 + 150 + 30 = $990.
Actual expenditure amounts to 182 + 475 + 12 + 65 + 68 + 12.50 + 150 + 36 = $1000.5.

Mae Green surpassed her designated budget.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 2

Eleanor:
Earned = 380.48
Spent = 16.50

Peter:
Earned = 120 + 13.65 + 100 = 233.65.

Combined total income = 233.65 + 380.48 - 16.50 = 597.63.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 3

Aggregate expenditure = 540 + 48.55 + 34.15 + 12.80 + 18.95 + 38.60 + 2 + 6.50 = 701.55.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 4

Marie's updated balance = 250.65 - [21.95+48.50+75.60] + 55 = $159.50.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 5

[235/825] × 100 = 28.48%

Biologists stocked a lake with 240 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

2.30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The fish population increased threefold in the first year, resulting in 240 * 3 = 720 fish.

(a) The logistic equation can be represented as follows

P = P_0e^{kt}

where P0 = 240 denotes the initial fish count; substituting P = 720 and t = 1 allows us to determine the constant k

720 = 240e^{1k}

e^k = 3

k = ln3 = 1.1

b) By applying the formula below

P = P_0e^{kt}

with P set to 3000, P0 as 240, and k equal to 1.1, we can compute the duration needed for the population to reach 3000 fish

3000 = 240e^{1.1t}

12.5 = e^{1.1t}

1.1t = ln12.5 = 2.53

t = 2.30 years
