The bird house in your friend's yard casts a shadow that is 14 feet long. Your friend is 5 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 3.5 feet long. What is the height of the bird house?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Bird house is 20 ft. high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the bird house is h feet high casts a shadow of 14 ft long.

My friend is 5 feet high and casts a shadow of 3.5 feet.

Now we see both the triangles Δ ABC and Δ XYZ are similar.

By the similar triangles theorem sides opposite to the corresponding angles will be in the same ratio.

(5)/(h)=(3.5)/(14) (from similar triangles ABC and XYZ)

h=(14*5)/(3.5)=(70)/(3.5)=20 ft.

Therefore bird's house is 20 feet high.

If a baseball and a bat cost $1.10 together, and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

Answers

Contrary to the above answer, the ball does not cost $0.10! If the ball were to cost 0.10 then the bat must cost $1.00 which is only $0.90 more than the ball! We can solve this equation correctly using an expression like so:
b = price of the ball
b + 1 = price of the bat
b + (b + 1) = price of the ball + price of the bat
b + b + 1 = 1.10
Therefore reareanging the equation:
2b = 0.10
And therefore:
b = 0.05
So the ball costs $0.05 and the bat costs $1.05 :))

Estimate. Then find the difference.

324-285=

Answers

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

324-285

WE can estimate the numbers to nearest tens or nearest hundreds

LEts estimate the numbers to nearest  tens and find the difference

324 round to nearest tens is 320

285 have 5 in once place that is equal to 5 so we add 1 with 8

285 round to nearest tens is 290

Now we find the difference

320- 290= 30

The difference is 30

If we estimate to nearest hundred then 300 -300 becomes 0

            If rounding to the hundreds
To estimate round 324 and 285 to the closest hundred.
300 - 300
Then subtract 300 - 300 =
0
               If rounding to the tens
To estimate round 324 and 285 to the nearest ten.
320 - 290 
Then subtract 320 - 290 =
30
