Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brian Height = 6 feet

Brian Shadow Height = 4 foot

Flag Shadow Height = 20 foot

Flag Height = Unknown ??

So we can use cross multiplication

6/4 = x/20

6×20/4 = x

6×20 =120

120÷4 = 30

So x= 30, which is the Flag Height

I wish that I helped you with this.

As per linear equation, the height of the flag pole is 30 feet.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an equation that has one or multiple variables with the highest power of the variable is 1.

Given, Brian is 6 feet tall and cast a 4 feet shadow.

Therefore, the ratio of Brain and it's shadow is

= 6/4

= 1.5

A flag pole cast a 20 foot shadow.

Therefore, the height of the flag pole is

= 20 × 1.5 feet

= 30 feet.

What is the perimeter of the triangle shown on the coordinate plane,to the nearest tenth of a unit ?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

25.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can infer that our triangle has vertices A = (-5, 4), B = (1, 4), and C = (3, -4).

First thing we are doing is find the lengths of AB, BC, and AC using the distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2} +(y_2-y_1)^{2}}$

where

$(x_1,y_1)$ are the coordinates of the first point

$(x_2,y_2)$ are the coordinates of the second point

- For AB:

$d=\sqrt{[1-(-5)]^{2}+(4-4)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(1+5)^{2}+(0)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}}$

$d=6$

- For BC:

$d=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2} +(-4-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(2)^{2} +(-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{4+64}$

$d=\sqrt{68}$

$d=8.24$

- For AC:

$d=\sqrt{[3-(-5)]^{2} +(-4-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(3+5)^{2} +(-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2} +64}$

$d=\sqrt{64+64}$

$d=\sqrt{128}$

$d=11.31$

Next, now that we have our lengths, we can add them to find the perimeter of our triangle:

$p=AB+BC+AC$

$p=6+8.24+11.31$

$p=25.55$

$p=25.6$

We can conclude that the perimeter of the triangle shown in the figure is 25.6 units.

at wassamatta university, 55.7% of the student body are males. choose one student at random. what is the probability that the st

Nitella [24]

100% - 55.7%

= 100% - 55% - 0.70%

= 45% - 0.70%

= 44.30%

-----------

This means that the probability of selecting a female student at random is 44.3% as a percentage.

Simplify<br> −6+{14+2[60−9(1+3)]}

ziro4ka [17]

The answer is 56.

I know this because...
<span>-6 + {14 + 2 [60 − 9(1 + 3)]}
-6 + </span>{14 + 2[60 − 9(4)]}
-6 + {14 + 2[60 − 36]}
-6 + {14 + 2[24]}
-6 + {14 + 48}
-6 + {62}
-6 + 62 = 56
