Hello!

It seems like the building, shadow, and distance between the top of the building to the top of the shadow makes a triangle. It seems as if the shadow and building are two legs, and the tip distance is the hypotenuse.

With this problem we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, where a squared plus b squared equals c squared.

When our hypotenuse represents c, we will subtract rather than add as we already know the length of c. We need to find the length of the shadow, or leg.

We will square the numbers and subtract. Then we will find the square root of our result, giving us our answer.

1444-1225=219
The square root of 219 is about 14.8.

Just to check, let’s plug our a value into the Pythagorean theorem.

219.04+1225= 1444.04
The square root of 1444.04 is about 38, which is the length of our hypotenuse.

The length of the shadow was 14.8 meters long.

I hope this helps!

A set of numbers satisfies Benford’s Law if the probability of a number starting with digit d is P(d) = log(d + 1) – log(d).
irakobra [83]

Interpreting the graph and the situation, it is found that the values of d that can be included in the solution set are 1 and 4.

----------------------

  • According to Benford's law, the probability of a number starting with digit is d is:

P(d) = \log{(d + 1}} - \log{d}

  • A number can start with 10 possible digits, ranging from 1 to 9, which are all integer digits.
  • Thus, d can only assume integer digits.
  • In the graph, the solution is d < 5.
  • The integer options for values of d are 1 and 4.
  • For the other options that are less than 5, they are not integers, so d cannot assume those values.

Solve the following: 2(6x + 5) = 94
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(6x+5)=94

(2)(6x)+(2)(5)=94(Distribute)

12x+10=94

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

12x+10−10=94−10

12x=84

Step 3: Divide both sides by 12.

12x

12

=

84

12

x=7
