Given:
Building's actual height 32 meters
Building's shadow height 20 meters
Person's shadow height 1.2 meters
Person's actual height = ?

Find the person's actual height:

This is a proportion problem.
Actual height to shadow height

Building = Person
32 : 20 = x : 1.2

32 * 1.2 = 20 * x
38.4 = 20x
38.4/20 = 20x/20
1.92 = x

The person's actual height is 1.92 meters long.

32 : 20 = 1.92 : 1.2

32/20 = 1.60
1.92/1.2 = 1.60

devlian [24]

The amount of money earned by Kiki earned $614 in three days.

<h3 /><h3>What is the salary?</h3>

The amount paid by any company or industry to the employees after deductions of the several taxes is the salary.

Given that:

Per day salary of Kiki = $150

Commission = 8% of sales

Worth of sold items = $350+$500+$1200 = $2050

Amount of commission = 0.08 x 2050 = $164

Total amount earned in three days = Base salary per day * Number of days + Commission

Total amount earned = 150*3 + 164

Total amount earned = 450 + 164 = $614

Drag each expression to show whether it can be used to find the area, perimeter, or neither
Blababa [14]
A = L * W
P = 2(L) + 2(W) or P = 2(L + W)

7 * 10 + 7 * 2 = 7(10 + 2) = 7 * 12.....this will get u the area
2 * 7 + 2 * 12 = 2(7 + 12) = 2(19)...this will get u the perimeter
7 + 12....this gets u neither
2(7 + 12).....this will get u perimeter
7 + 12 + 7 + 12......this will also get u perimeter
7 * 12....this will get u area
