The ratio between the tree and shadow is 12:9, which can be simplified to 4:3. as we now have a shadow of a building, we can use to ratio and scale it up to find how tall the building is.

4:3
?:24
how many times does 3 go into 24? it goes 8 times, so we multiple the 4 by 8 to get 32
32:24

Which figure is the image produced by applying the composition T 0,3 o R0,90 to figure R?
Lyrx [107]

We are given original image R.

It is being translated by (0,3) first and then rotated by a positive angle 90 degrees.

Translation by (0,3) represents (x,y) --> (x, y+3) rule.

Positive 90 degree rotation represents, counterclockwise rotation.

The rule for counterclockwise rotation is (x,y) --> (-y,x).

Therefore, final rule for would be

(x,y) --> ( -y,x+3 )

Let us take a coordinate of R on y-axis as (0,-4).

Now if we apply rule (x,y) --> ( -y,x+3 ) we get

(0,-4)  --> (-(-4), 0+3) = (4,3).

Let us check the figure with coordinate (4,3).

We can clearly see that Figure H has transformed coordinate (4,3).

<h3>Therefore, correct option is first option A. figure H.</h3>

Use the functions to find x
suter [353]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 10 -  \frac{9}{2} x \\  \\ plug \: f(x) =  - 53 \\  \\  - 53 = 10 -  \frac{9}{2} x \\  \\ \frac{9}{2} x  = 10 + 53 \\  \\ \frac{9}{2} x  = 63 \\  \\ x = 63 \times  \frac{2}{9}  \\  \\ x = 7 \times 2 \\  \\ x = 14
