Answer:
48 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.
Therefore, in figure,
AB/FD = BC/DE --- (1)
where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.
From the given information,
BC = 36 feet
FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet
(1) becomes
AB/4 = 36/3
AB = 12
AB = 48
Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.
The answer is 3x-3. You have to distribute the 3 to both of the variables in the equations. The 1 in the parentheses is a negative and multiplying the 3 will result in a negative 3.
Can you explain it more clear because my english is not very good, I want to easy to help you
Must do multiplication first....
-2/5 - 3/7 x 7/10
-2/5 - 21/70 (I'll reduce 21/70)
-2/5 - 3/10
Now you have to find a common denominator and subtract
-35/50 = -7/10......is what I get
Answer:
23.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage change can be computed as ...
((new value)/(original value) -1) × 100%
= (58/76 -1) × 100%
≈ (0.763 -1) × 100% = -23.7%
The decrease is 23.7%.
