This is the concept of linear scale factor:
The length of the farmer shadow will be calculated as follows:
(height of farmer)/(length of farmer shadow)=(height of the silo)/(length of silo shadow)
let the length of farmer shadow be x
height of farmer=72 inches= 6 ft
length of silo shadow=31.5 ft
height of silo=140 ft
therefore plugging the above in the equation we get:
6/x=140/31.5
solving for x we get
x/6=31.5/140
x=31.5/140×6
x=1.35 ft
The length of the farmer shadow is 1.35 ft

That point does not satisfy either inequality. 

You can tell it does not satisfy the first portion, due to it being under the shaded line. Secondly, the dotted line goes through it, but that fact that it is dotted makes it not included.

Use always, sometimes or never to make a true statement:
viva [34]

Answer:

1. Intersecting lines are <u>always</u> coplanar

2. Two planes <u>never</u> intersect in exactly one point

3. Three points are <u>always</u> coplanar

4. A plane containing two points of a line <u>always</u> contains the entire line

5. Four points are <u>sometimes</u> coplanar

6. Two lines <u>never</u> meet in more than one point.

7. Two skew lines are <u>never</u> coplanar

8. Line TQ and Line QT are <u>always</u> the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Coplanar means "In the same plane"

1. Each line exist in many planes. But different lines must share at least one plane for them to intersect. That is why intersecting lines are always coplanar.

2. Two planes never intersect at exactly one point because only lines intersect at a point. Planes can only intersect along a line.

3.Three points are always coplanar because in geometry, a group of points are coplanar because there is a geometric plane that they all lie on.

4. A plane containing two points of a line always contains the entire line. Yes

5. Four points are only sometimes coplanar because there is a probability that they may all not lie on the same plane

6. Two lines never meet in more than one point because lines are basically straight and cannot bend over to intersect at another point

7. Two skew lines are never coplanar because skews lines are lines that do not intersect and are never parallel.

8. Line TQ and Line QT are always the same line because a line is straight and extends from one point to the other. So, if a line is labelled TQ calling it QT means the same thing
