Answer:

The court house tower should be 51 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5+2.5=5 feet because 2+2=4 and 0.5+0.5=1. 4+1=5

25.5+25.5=51 because 25+25=50 and 0.5+0.5=1. 50+1=51

Answer:

The court house tower is 62.5 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

A five foot boy casts a 2 foot shadow.

Height of boy = 5 feet

Height of shadow of boy = 2 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of boy}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of boy}}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5

So ratio of original height to shadow height is 2.5.

Now we need to find how tall is the court house tower, if its shadow is 25 feet.

\frac{\texttt{Height of house tower}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of house tower}}=2.5\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of house tower}}{25}=2.5\\\\\texttt{Height of house tower}=2.5\times 25=62.5feet

The court house tower is 62.5 feet tall

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

SR = 450 
<span>S = 450/R </span>

<span>(S - 3)(R + 5) = 450 </span>
<span>(450/R - 3)(R + 5) = 450 </span>
<span>(450 - 3R)(R + 5) = 450R </span>
<span>450R + 2250 - 3R^2 - 15R = 450R </span>
<span>3R^2 + 15R - 2250 = 0 </span>
<span>R^2 + 5R - 750 = 0 </span>
<span>R^2 + 30R - 25R - 750 = 0 </span>
<span>R(R + 30) - 25(R + 30) = 0 </span>
<span>(R + 30)(R - 25) = 0 </span>
<span>R ∈ {-30,25} 
</span>
<span>Only positive numbers make sense in this context, therefore R = 25.</span>

Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 15 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass
BARSIC [14]
Calculate the volume of sand, the cone will be completely filled and the cylinder will have sand up to the 30 mm level.

Volume of sand will = the volume of the cone:
= 1/3 * pi * (6 mm)^2 * 15
= 1/3 * pi * 36 * 15 =180 pi cubic mm

the cylinder will have a volume of sand equal to:
= pi * (6 mm)^2 * 30 mm
= pi * 36 sq mm * 30 mm 
= 1080 pi cubic mm

The total sand is the sum:
= 1080 pi cubic mm +180 pi cubic mm
= 1260 pi cubic mm. <span>

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: $14.0

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to calculate this question, we have to find 20% of $17.45 and then subtract the value gotten from $17.45. This will be:

= $17.45 - (20% × $17.45)

= $17.45 - (0.2 × $17.45)

= $17.45 - $3.49

= $13.96

= $14.0 to nearest cent
