A shadow measures 88 m: d = 88 m.
The angle : α = 32°
We will use trigonometry:
h / d = tan α
h / 88 m = tan 32°
h / 88 m = 0.62489
h = 88 m * 0.62489
h = 54.9885 m ≈ 55 m
Answer: The approximate height of a building is 55 meters.

Orchids are a family of thousands of types of flowers that all share the same shape. Many gardening clubs are devoted to collect
irakobra [83]

Answer:

The correct options are;

1) Which type needs the highest temperature to grow

2) Do all of the types make food the same way

3) How long does it take for a specific type to make seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of types of species in the orchid family = Several thousand

The tasks the gardening clubs are devoted to = Collecting, Studying, and growing of the orchids

The manner of the growth of the orchids = Difficulty observed in growing outside the orchid's natural habitat

Scientific questions are objective questions that are measurable, well defined about parameters that can be controlled which can be answered by means of an experiment and meant to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of the world around us

Therefore, the scientific questions that can be asked about a collection of different orchid types are;

1) Which type needs the highest temperature to grow

The above is a question that has a defined parameter (temperature) which is measurable and the answer can be provided by experimenting

2) Do all of the types make food the same way

An experiment with different orchid types will provide an answer to the above question

3) How long does it take for a specific type to make seeds

The length of time for it takes the seed to grow is measurable within an experiment.

Anna is no more than 3 years older than 2 times Jamie’s age. Jamie is at least 14 and Anna is at most 35. Which system of linear
joja [24]

Answer: The answer is (b) a ≤ 3 + 2j; j ≥ 14, a ≤ 35.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Anna is no more than 3 years older than 2 times Jamie’s age. Jamie is at least 14 and Anna is at most 35. We are to select the correct combination of inequalities among the given options.

Also, 'a' and 'j' are the possible ages of Anna and Jamie respectively. Therefore, according to the given information, we can write

a\leq 2j+3,\\j\geq 14,\\a\leq 35.

Thus, the correct option is (b) a ≤ 3 + 2j; j ≥ 14, a ≤ 35.

The gestation period of rhinos ​(487 ​days) is​ _____ percent longer than the gestation period of bears ​(220 ​days).
Talja [164]

Answer:

The gestation period of rhinos ​(487 ​days) is​ 121. 3 percent longer than the gestation period of bears ​(220 ​days).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Gestation period of rhinos = 487  ​days

Gestation period  of bears = 220 ​days

To Find:

Percentage increase = ?

Solution:

The percentage increase =\frac{ \text{new value} - \text{final value} }{\text{final value}} \times 100

On substituting the  values,

= \frac{ 487 - 220}{220}\times 100

=\frac{267}{220}\times 100

=>1.213 \times 100

=> 121.3 %
