Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{height of object}{length of shadow}

Let the hight of the soldier be x

\frac{24}{9} = \frac{x}{2.25}

x = (24×2.25)/9 = 6ft

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's form a proportion;

24                    x

____    =      _____ ,

 9                   2.25

24(2.25) = 9x,

54 = 9x,

x = height of soldier = 6 feet

ella [17]

The diver is moving down, so he moved −20 feet. Start with 20 negative tiles and separate them into 5 equal groups. There are 4 negative tiles in each group, so he traveled at a rate of −4 feet per second.

Rainbow [258]
 <span>The volume of a sphere is V = 4/3 x pi x r^3 

The rind volume is the difference of two spheres. The radius of the inner sphere volume is, r - .1 r or .9 r. So the volume of the rind is 

V = 4/3 x pi x r^3 - 4/3 x pi (.9 r )^3 

V = 4/3 x pi x r^3 - 4/3 x pi x (.9^3) x r^3 

Implicitly differentiating both sides with respect to t yields: 

V' = ( 4 x pi x r^2 x r' ) - ( 4 x pi x (.9^3) x r^2 x r' ) 

This equation define the rate of change of the rind volume with respect to time. 

As defined in the problem, r' = 2 

As well, after 5 weeks the radius will be r = 2 * 5 = 10 

V' = (4 x pi x 10^2 x 2) - (4 x pi x (.9^3) x 10 x 2) 

V' = (800 x pi) - (800 x pi x (.729)) 

V' = (800 x pi) (1 - .729) 

V' = (800 x pi)(.271) 

V' = 681.09 cubic centimeters
