ANSWER

Emma is 44" tall

EXPLANATION

We have that David cast a shadow 42 inches long and he is 66 inches tall.

At that same place and time, Emma cast a shadow of 28 inches.

Since they are at the same spot and time, we can conclude that the ratio of their height to shadow must be the same.

Let Emma's height be x.

The ratio of David's shadow to height is:

42 : 66 or 42 / 66

For Emma, it is:

28 : x or 28 / x

That means that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{42}{66}\text{ = }\frac{28}{x} \\ \text{Solve for x by cross-multiplying:} \\ 42\cdot\text{ x = 66 }\cdot\text{ 28} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{66\cdot\text{ 28}}{42} \\ x\text{ = 44 inches} \end{gathered}

So, Emma is 44" tall.

What is the equation of the following graph?
nignag [31]

Answer:

{y}^{2}  = 24x

Step-by-step explanation:

This is horizontal parabola.

It has a directrix at x=-6.

The vertex is (0,0).

The focus is (6,0)

The equation of this parabola is of the form

{y}^{2}  = 4px

Where (p,0) is the focus

By comparison, p=6

Therefore the equation of the parabola is

{y}^{2}  = 4 \times 6x

This implies that

{y}^{2}  =2 4 x

If an object is dropped from a tower, then the velocity, V (in feet per second), of the object after t seconds can be obtained b
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

259.6 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a universal standard that acceleration due to gravity is 32ft/sec^2.

Now it can be verified by equation,

V(f) = V(i)+at (1st equation of motion derived by Newton's three laws of motion)

where,

V(f) is final velocity

V(i) is initial velocity

a is acceleration which is constant and have value 32ft/sec^2

t is time which is given as 7.8 seconds

In the given case, initial velocity that is V(i) will be 0ft/sec. Because, on dropping, object will start to move under the influence of gravity from zero speed.

So,

V(f) = 0 +(32) (7.8)

V(f) = 249.6 ft/sec

Now the condition is given that you have to add a constant 10 to the answer.

so, V(f) = 249.6 + 10

      V(f) = 259.6 ft/sec

Use geometry words to describe a way to separate triangles into other triangles
zysi [14]
You can divide a triangle using medians. Let's name triangle ΔABC shown in figure 1. So you must start at one of the vertices and then bisect the opposite side. Let's start with the point A and then we bisect the opposite side. Then the length from B to D is equal to the length from D to C. So let's take the point B and then we bisect the opposite side. Then the length from A to E is equal to the length from E to C. The same reasoning happens with the point C. So we have, in figure 2, the triangle ΔABC divided into six triangles which all have the same area.

What is six less than three raised to the third power?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Three raise to third power can be written as 3^3. In this three is the base which is raised to third power.

3^3 = 3*3*3 = 27

Next we need to subtract 6 from Three raise to third power(i.e from 27)

which can be written mathematically as

3^3 - 6 = 3*3*3 - 6 \\=> 27 - 6 = 21

Hence 6 less  than three raised to the third power is 21 as explained above.
