Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 similar right triangles with legs height and length of shadows.

height of men : length of shadows of the man = height of tree : length of shadows of the tree

5 : 8 = x : 24

8x = 5* 24

x = 5*24/8 = 15 (feet)

G(-4, -8) and H(-15, -3). What is the slope of GH?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

G(x1,y1)= (-4,-8)

H(x2,y2)=(-15,-3)

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

=(-3-(-8))/ (-15-(-4))

= (-3+8)/(-15+4)

Identical sweaters are on sale in two different stores. The sale price in store A is 30% off the regular price of $25. The sale
bekas [8.4K]
30% off 25: multiply 25 by .30 to find 30%: 7.5. Now subtract that from the sales price: 25-7.5=17.5
Do the same for store B: .40•30=12. 30-12=18.
So store A is better by $.50 :) hope this helps :)
