A water tower casts a shadow that is 24 foot long. A 9.5 foot tall tree casts a shadow that is 8 foot long. What is the height of the water tower?

28.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A water tower casts a shadow that is 24 foot long. A 9.5 foot tall tree casts a shadow that is 8 foot long. What is the height of the water tower?

The formula is given as:

Height of the tower/Shadow of the tower = Height of the tree/Shadow of the tree

Let the Height of the tower = x

Hence:

x/24 = 9.5/8

Cross Multiply

8x = 24 × 9.5

x = 24 × 9.5/8

x = 28.5 feet

Therefore, the height of the water tower is 28.5 feet

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

y=1/4x-4
