Make each known side into a ratio like so...
75/6
(Because 75 is the shadow casted by the building, and 6 is the shadow casted by sarah)
and 50/x
(50 is how tall the building is and sarah's height is what needs to be found)
Therefore,
75 50
---- -----
6 x
Do cross products;
50 x 6 = 75 x X
300 = 75x
Divide by 75
x = 4ft

Answer:
x = -5
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x = – 2y – 1
= -x - 2y - 1
-x - 2y = 1
x = – 5y + 5
= -x - 5y + 5
-x - 5y = -5
-x - 2y = 1
-x - 5y = -5
___________--
3y = 6
y = 6/3
<u>y = 2</u>
-x - 2y = 1
-x - 2(2) = 1
-x - 4 = 1
-x = 1 + 4
-x = 5
<u>x = -5</u>
