1 foot = 12 inches
Height of Jacob = 5 feet 6 inches = 5 *12 + 6 = 66 inches
Jacob's <span>shadow = 3 feet = 36 inches

</span>giraffe's shadow = <span>5 feet 9 inches = 5 * 12 + 9 = 69 inches

</span><span>by the ratio and proportion

∴ </span>Height of Jacob/Jacob's shadow = Height of giraffe/giraffe's shadow

∴ 66/36 = Height of giraffe/69

∴ Height of giraffe = 69 * 66/36 = 126.5 inches = 10 feet 6.5 inches

Prove: cos(3x)=sin(2x)
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

By taking ( x = 18°)

<u>L.H.S</u>

cos(3x)=sin(2x)

cos(3x) = cos( 3X18°)= cos (54°)

            = cos[ 90° - (2x18°)]           ∵[  90°- (2x18°) = 54°]

            = ∴ sin ( 2x18°)

      As (x = 18°)

            = sin (2x) = R.H.S

Which one of the following is always true?a. The coefficient of variation measures variability in a positively skewed data set r
Tom [10]

Answer:

C. The coefficient of variation is a measure of relative dispersion that expresses the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean, for any data on a ratio scale and an interval scale

Step-by-step explanation:

Th Coefficient of Variance is a measure of dispersion that can be calculated using the formula:

CV = \frac{\sigma_{x} }{\mu_{x} } * 100%

Where \sigma{x} is the Standard Deviation

and \mu_{x} is the sample mean

From the formula written above, it is shown that the Coefficient of Variation expresses the Standard Deviation as a percentage of the mean.

Coefficient of variation can be used to compare positive as well as negative data on the ratio and interval scale, it is not only used for positive data.

The Interquartile Range is not a measure of central tendency, it is a measure of dispersion.

What answer to 1+7v+9
Sveta_85 [38]

Hey There!

In order to simplify this expression, you would have to combine the like terms.

9+1 = 10

Nothing else could be done, therefore the answer would be.

7v + 10

Hope this helped!

A line that passes through (-1, 6) and the origin
zmey [24]

Answer: The equation is y = -6*x

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that we want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and the origin (remember that the origin is the point (0,0))

A general linear equation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If this line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope of the line is equal to:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Now we know that our line passes through the points (0, 0) and (-1, 6), then the slope is:

a = (6 - 0)/(-1 - 0) = 6/-1 = -6

Then our equation is something like:

y = -6*x + b

To find the value of b we can use the fact that this line passes through the point (0, 0).

This means that when x = 0, y is also equal to zero.

If we replace these values in the equation we get:

0 = -6*0 + b

0 = b

Then our equation is:

y = -6*x
