B is the answer because none of the others will be right and b is the one you should always do when to solve a rea word problem
The ratio of building heights will be the same as the ratio of shadow lengths.
(taller building)/(shorter building) = (longer shadow)/(shorter shadow)
(taller building)/(84 ft) = (110 ft)/(46 ft) . . . . . . fill in the given numbers
(taller building) = (84 ft)*(110/46) ≈ 200.9 ft . . multiply by 84 ft, evaluate
The appropriate selection is
D) 200.9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-3y-4=0---------(1)
Slope = - coefficient of X/ coefficient of y
= -5/(-3)
= 5/3
(x1,y1)= (-5,7)
Equation of the line,
Y-Y1= slope(X-X1)
Y-7= (5/3)×(X-(-5))
Y-7= (5x+25)/3
3y-7=5x+25
5x-3y+32=0 is the required eqn
For this case we have the following equations:
2x - 3y = 1
2x + 3y = 2
When adding both equations we observe that:
Sentence 1: we have an equation of a variable, which in this case will be x. We can clear the value of x.
Sentence 2: Knowing the value of x, we can substitute in any equation and find the value of y.
Sentence 3: The value of x and y represents the point of intersection of both lines (x, y).
