We can look at 2 similar triangles.
1st triangle has legs: a vertical pole and its shadow, and
2nd triangle has legs legs : a child and his(her) shadow.
We can write a proportion:
height of a pole/height of a child= shadow of a pole/shadow of a child
8/4 = 5/shadow of a child
shadow of a child=(5*4)/8=5/2 ft
Answer: 5/2 ft
Answer:
y=6x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - y = -1
-y = -1 -6x
y = 6x+1
It has to do with the number of dimensions you have in the figure. For example, in a square you have 2 dimensions, length and width. Since you have only two you use units^2. In a cube, you have 3 dimensions, length, width and height, which is where you get the units^3.

Answer:</h3>
D. 1/24
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Assuming the die is fair and the events are independent, the probability of the series of events is the product of the probabilities of the individual events.
p(even) = 3/6 = 1/2
p(odd) = 3/6 = 1/2
p(5) = 1/6
Then the joint probability is ...
.. (1/2)·(1/2)·(1/6) = 1/24
