    domcek On a rectangular land with dimensions of 35 m and 18.5 m is a house with a square floor plan with a side of 14 m. What % of the land is not occupied?
  14. The diameter
    circles The diameter of a circle is 4 feet. What is the circle's circumference?
  15. The rescue helicopter
    helicopter The rescue helicopter is above the landing site at a height of 180m. The site of the rescue operation can be seen from here at a depth angle of 52° 40 '. How far will the helicopter land from the rescue site?
  16. Similarity of two triangles
    triangles_1 The KLM triangle has a side length of k = 6.3cm, l = 8.1cm, m = 11.1cm. The triangle XYZ has a side length of x = 8.4cm, y = 10.8cm, z = 14.8cm. Are triangle KLM and XYZ similar? (write 0 if not, if yes, find and write the coefficient of a similarity)
  17. Clock hands
    clocks Calculate the internal angles of a triangle whose vertices lie on the clock's 2, 6 and 11 hours.
  18. A kite
    sarkan Children have a kite on an 80m long rope, which floats above a place 25m from the place where children stand. How high is the dragon floating above the terrain?
  19. Height to the base
