The woman is 6 foot tall

<h3>What is proportion?</h3>

Proportion can be defined as the mathematical comparison of two numbers.

These numbers could be numbers, elements, set or people

From the information given, we have that;

  • The globe is 3 feet and casts a shadow of 8ft
  • The woman cast a shadow of 16ft and is x feet tall

So,

if the globe is 3 foot tall and casts a shadow of 8ft

Then the woman is x foot tall to cast a shadow of 16ft

cross multiply

8x = 24

Make 'x' the subject

x = 48/ 8

x = 6 foot

Thus, the woman is 6 foot tall

Answer:

(a) 8 x(5 x-6)=40 x^{2}-48 x

(c) \begin{aligned}(x-3)(5 x-6) &=5 x^{2}-21 x+18\end{aligned}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find verify the answer we need to multiplying the equation 8 x(5 x-6)

8 x(5 x-6)=40 x^{2}-48 x

Thus, this statement is true.

(b) To find verify the answer we need to multiplying the equation -4 x\left(2 x^{2}+1\right)

-4 x\left(2 x^{2}+1\right)=-8 x^{3}-4 x

Hence, the given statement is false.

(c) To find verify the answer we need to multiplying the equation (x-3)(5 x-6)

\begin{aligned}(x-3)(5 x-6) &=5 x^{2}-6 x-15 x+18 \\&=5 x^{2}-21 x+18\end{aligned}

Hence, the given statement is true.

(d) To find verify the answer we need to multiplying the equation(2 x+3)\left(x^{2}+3 x-5\right)

\begin{aligned}=(2 x+3)\left(x^{2}+3 x-5\right) &=2 x^{3}+6 x^{2}-10 x+3 x^{2}+9 x-15 \\&=2 x^{3}+9 x^{2}-x-15\end{aligned}

Hence, the given statement is false.
