Answer:
D. 2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 inch = 8 feet
24 divided by 8 = 3
(meaning you would multiply eight three times in order to get to 24)
So....
3/4 x 3 = 2 1/4
Answer: 2 1/4
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.
2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.
that means the angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle all correlate with the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.
so,
42 × f = 6
f = 6/42 = 1/7
the length of Joel's shadow is then
20 × f = 20 × 1/7 = 2.857142857... ft
For this case we have the following system of equations:

Equating both equations we have:

We must find the solutions, for this we factor. We look for two numbers that, when multiplied, result in 4 and when added, result in 5. These numbers are 4 and 1:

Then, the factorized equation is of the form:

Thus, the solutions are:

We look for solutions for the variable "y":

Thus, the system solutions are given by:
ANswer:

D because its a triangle so it would be 3x but then you have to add the 4 for the longer side.
