To measure the height of the Washington Monument, a student 5.5ft tall measures his shadow to be 4.75ft. At the same time of day, he measured the shadow of the Washington Monument to be 478ft long. Use a calculator to estimate the height of the monument to the nearest foot. The Washington Monument is approximately (X) ft tall

whats the question?

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.

thats not a system of equations, that is a solution

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
