Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

If the man casts a shadow that is one foot shorter than he is then the height of the pole will be one foot taller than its shadow. This means the height of the pole is one foot more than 15 feet.

The pole is 16 feet tall.

Hope this helps!

Divide 42 in a ratio of 1:2:3?
Cloud [144]
Ratio 1:2:3 means we have x, 2x and 3x as the three parts

x+2x+3x = 42
6x = 42
6x/6 = 42/6
x = 7

Since x = 7, this means 2x = 2*7 = 14 and 3x = 3*7 = 21

Dividing 42 into the ratio of 1:2:3 means we have 7:14:21 as the answer

If we divide all three parts of 7:14:21 by the GCF 7, we reduce it down to 1:2:3

As a check, 
7+14+21 = 21+21 = 42
so it works out

Which of the following equations describes the line shown below? Check all<br> that apply.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B. y = 2x - 2

E. y + 4 = 2(x + 1)

F. y - 6 = 2(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line can be found using either the point-slope equation or the slope-intercept equation.

✔️Equation of the line in point-slope using the slope and the coordinates of the point (4, 6):

Slope = m = change in y/change in x

Using (4, 6) and (-1, -4),

m = (-4 - 6)/(-1 - 4)

m = -10/-5

m = 2

Substitute m = 2, and (a, b) = (4, 6) into the point-slope equation form y - b = m(x - a)

Thus:

y - 6 = 2(x - 4)

✔️Equation of the line in point-slope using the slope and the coordinates of the point (-1, -4):

Slope = m = 2

Substitute m = 2, and (a, b) = (-1, -4) into the point-slope equation form y - b = m(x - a)

Thus:

y - (-4) = 2(x - (-1))

y + 4 = 2(x + 1)

✔️Equation of the line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

Where,

m = slope = 2

b = y-intercept = -2 (the point where the line intercepts the y-axis)

Thus, substitute m = 2 and b = -2 into y = mx + b

y = 2x + (-2)

y = 2x - 2

1) It’s true because -5 is way smaller than 3. All the negatives are below the 0 and everything below the 0 is lower than everything above the 0.

2) false. it’s false because in order -5 isn’t even close to 3

3) false.. It’s false because when you have those 2 line that are covering the -5 that means it’s “transforming” into a positive number. So therefore it’s would be 5>3 that would make it true.

4) True. it’s true because like I said the to lines mean the absolute value of something. So it’s being switch to a positive number


Hope this helps :)

D. One holding pen uses 500 feet of fence
inn [45]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  500 ft or 166 2/3 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The tie wire is (100)/(100 +500) = 1/6 of the total length of wire used. If 1000 yards of wire is used, 1/6 of that amount can be expected to be tie wire. That is ...

  (1000 yd)/6 = 166 2/3 yd = 500 ft
