Answer is 6 meters. As a person with height of 1.5 meters casts a shadow of 8 meters which 5.3333... times greater than the real height, using this relation we can find the real height by dividing the length of shadow by 5.3333... So the height of pole is: 32/5.33333 = 6 meters

ipn [44]

Answer:

<em />Rate = 1.1/hr<em />

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Start = 23

End = 16

Hours = 6\frac{1}{2}h

Required

Determine the hourly rate

First, we need to determine the ice cream sold

Ice\ Cream = 23 - 16

Ice\ Cream = 7

Next, we calculate the hourly rate:

Rate = Ice\ Cream/Hours

Rate = 7/6\frac{1}{2}h

Rate = 7/\frac{13}{2}h

Rate = 7*\frac{2}{13h}

Rate = \frac{14}{13h}

Rate = 1.07692307692/hr

<em />Rate = 1.1/hr<em> -- Approximated</em>

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Third answer (she is incorrect because she should have squared each leg length and then found the sum.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem states that a²+b²=c². This is not equivalent to (a+b)²=c² (due to FOIL expansion, this expands to a²+2ab+b²=c²).

This matches with the third answer, as she has to do a² and b≥ separately.

**This question involves expanding perfect squares, which you may wish to revise. I'm always happy to help!
