A boy stands 1 meter away from a lamppost. He is 1.8 meters tall and casts a shadow 2 meters long in the light from the lamp
The diagram is attached below using the given information
We have two similar triangle
Triangle ACD is similar to triangle ABE. So the sides are in proportional
AC = AB + BC = 3m
2x = 1.8 * 3 (cross multiply)
2x = 5.4
Divide by 2 on both sides
x = 2.7
Height of Lamppost is 2.7 meter
Answer:
D. 3/19
Step-by-step explanation:
12/1 = 12
12/2 = 6
12/3 = 4
These are the only ones that make the equation true.
There are also only 19 numbers because they need to be less than 20 like the question indicated. Therefore, the answer is D.
Answer:
-22x +3x/ 3x =2-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
It is B
Step-by-step explanation:
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get:
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
