- Cutting cone
A cone with a base radius of 10 cm and a height of 12 cm is given. At what height above the base should we divide it by a section parallel to the base so that the volumes of the two resulting bodies are the same? Express the result in cm. - Approximately 25381
The observer sees the tops of two trees at the same angle a. It is 9 m from one tree and 21 m from the other. The trees stand on a level. How tall is the second tree if the height of the first is 6 m? Remember that the eyes of a standing person are approx - The shadow
The shadow of a 1 m high pole thrown on a horizontal plane is 0.8 m long. At the same time, the shadow of a tree thrown on a horizontal plane is 6.4 m. Determine the height of the tree. - The triangles
Two similar triangles, KLM and ABC, are given. Calculate the lengths of the remaining sides of the triangle KLM. If the lengths of the sides are a = 7 b = 5.6 c = 4.9 k = 5
- Lookout tower
Calculate the height of a lookout tower forming a shadow of 36 m if a column 2.5 m high has a shadow of 1.5 m at the same time. - Similarity of two triangles
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) - Conical bottle
When a conical bottle rests on its flat base, the water in the bottle is 8 cm from its vertex. When the same conical bottle is turned upside down, the water level is 2 cm from its base. What is the height of the bottle? - There
There is a stretched steel cable between the three columns. The height of the first column is 4 m, and the height of the second is 3.5 m. The distance between the first two columns is 2.5 m, and the distance between the second and third is 5 m. The heels - Sides of right angled triangle
One leg is 1 m shorter than the hypotenuse, and the second leg is 2 m shorter than the hypotenuse. Find the lengths of all sides of the right-angled triangle.
- Distance 11711
The observer sits in a room 2 m from a 50 cm wide window. A road runs parallel at a distance of 500 m. What is the cyclist's average speed on this road when the observer sees him at 15 s? - Secret treasure
Scouts have a tent in the shape of a regular quadrilateral pyramid with a side of the base of 4 m and a height of 3 m. Find the container's radius r (and height h) so that they can hide the largest possible treasure. - Quadrilateral 11241
The regular quadrilateral pyramid has a height of 40 cm and a base side of 21 cm. Cut the needle at half the height. How much will both parts have? - Two chords
Calculate the length of chord AB and perpendicular chord BC to the circle if AB is 4 cm from the circle's center and BC 8 cm from the center. - Right circular cone
The volume of a right circular cone is 5 liters. The cone is divided by a plane parallel to the base, one-third down from the vertex to the base. Calculate the volume of these two parts of the cone.
- Identical 8831
In the triangle ABC, the point P lies closer to point A in the third of the line AB, the point R is closer to the point P in the third of the line P, and the point Q lies on the line BC so that the angles P CB and RQB are identical. Determine the ratio of - The chimney
The chimney casts a shadow 45 meters long. The one-meter-long rod standing perpendicular to the ground has a shadow 90 cm long. Calculate the height of the chimney. - Lighthouse
Marcel (point J) lies in the grass and sees the top of the tent (point T) and, behind it, the top of the lighthouse (P). | TT '| = 1.2m, | PP '| = 36m, | JT '| = 5m. Marcel lies 15 meters away from the sea (M). Calculate the lighthouse distance from the s - Trapezium diagonals
It is given trapezium ABCD with bases | AB | = 12 cm, |CD| = 8 cm. Point S is the intersection of the diagonals for which |AS| is 6 cm long. Calculate the length of the full diagonal AC. - Diagonals at right angle
In the trapezoid ABCD, this is given: AB=12cm CD=4cm And diagonals crossed under a right angle. What is the area of this trapezoid ABCD?
