- Circumference 64104
The ABC triangle has a circumference of 11 cm. Triangle A'B'C ', similar to triangle ABC, has side lengths of 6 cm, 120 mm, and 1.5 dm larger than triangle ABC. Calculate the area of the triangle A'B'C '. - Similar frustums
The upper and lower radii of a frustum of a right circular cone are 8 cm and 32 cm, respectively. If the altitude of the frustum is 10 cm, how far from the bottom base must a cutting plane be made to form two similar frustums? - Pentagon
The signboard has the shape of a pentagon ABCDE, in which line BC is perpendicular to line AB, and EA is perpendicular to line AB. Point P is the heel of the vertical starting from point D on line AB. | AP | = | PB |, | BC | = | EA | = 6dm, | PD | = 8.4dm - Calculate
Calculate the height of a tree that casts a shadow 22 m long if you know that at the same time, a pillar 2 m high casts a shadow 3 meters long.
- Similarity of triangles
If triangle ABC ~ to triangle XYZ, AC = 24, AB = 15, BC = 17, and XY = 9, what is the perimeter of triangle XYZ? Round all sides to 1 decimal place. - Two similar
Two similar triangles, one has a circumference of 100 cm, the second has sides successively 8 cm, 14 cm, and 18 cm longer than the first. Find the lengths of its sides. - The truncated
The truncated rotating cone has bases with radii r1 = 8 cm, r2 = 4 cm and height v = 5 cm. What is the volume of the cone from which the truncated cone originated? - Two cables
On a flat plain, two columns are erected vertically upwards. One is 7 m high, and the other 4 m. Cables are stretched between the top of one column and the foot of the other column. At what height will the cables cross? Assume that the cables do not sag. - Tower's view
From the church tower's view at the height of 65 m, the top of the house can be seen at a depth angle of alpha = 45° and its bottom at a depth angle of beta = 58°. Calculate the height of the house and its distance from the church.
- Circumference 42471
The lengths of the sides of the triangle ABC are in the ratio 4:2:5. Calculate the size of the longest side of a similar KLM triangle, whose circumference is 66 cm. - Right-angled 40961
A right-angled triangle ABC has sides a = 5 cm, b = 8 cm. The similar triangle A'B'C' is 2.5 times smaller. Calculate what percentage of the area of triangle ABC is the area of triangle A'B'C'. - Vertical rod
The vertical one-meter-long rod casts a shadow 150 cm long. Calculate the height of a column whose shadow is 36 m long simultaneously. - Inclined plane
The body stays on an inclined plane and exerts a compressive force of 70N on it. Find the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal if a gravitational force of 100N acts on the body. - Equilateral cone
We pour so much water into a container with the shape of an equilateral cone, the base of which has a radius r = 6 cm, that one-third of the volume of the cone is filled. How high will the water reach if we turn the cone upside down?
- Right-angled 27683
Right-angled triangle XYZ is similar to triangle ABC, which has a right angle at the vertex X. The following applies a = 9 cm, x=4 cm, x =v-4 (v = height of triangle ABC). Calculate the missing side lengths of both triangles. - An observer
An observer standing west of the tower sees its top at an altitude angle of 45 degrees. After moving 50 meters to the south, he sees its top at an altitude angle of 30 degrees. How tall is the tower? - Similarity 26441
How long a shadow casts a building 15 m high if the shadow of a meter rod is 90 cm? Sketch - similarity. - 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
