ANSWER
Emma is 44" tall
EXPLANATION
We have that David cast a shadow 42 inches long and he is 66 inches tall.
At that same place and time, Emma cast a shadow of 28 inches.
Since they are at the same spot and time, we can conclude that the ratio of their height to shadow must be the same.
Let Emma's height be x.
The ratio of David's shadow to height is:
42 : 66 or 42 / 66
For Emma, it is:
28 : x or 28 / x
That means that:
So, Emma is 44" tall.
Answer:
b = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
From an external point, the products of distances to the near circle intercept and the far circle intercept are the same. For a tangent, such as AC, point A is both the near and far intercept point, so that product is the square of the length of AC.
(AC)² = (CG)(CV)
b² = 12·27 = 324 . . . . substitute known values
b = √324 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
b = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, you input the value of y (y = 6) into the equation ( 2.5(y-x)= 0)
2.5(6-x) = 0
Open the bracket,
(2.5×6)-2.5x= 0
Collect like terms.
2.5x= 2.5×6
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x (2.5)
x = 6
So,
x= 6 is true.
.
Substituting 6 for x in the equation,
2.5(6-6)= 0
2.5•0 = 0
0= 0
Which is also true.
Answer:
1648
Step-by-step explanation:
5/9 are girls. The 9 represents the total.
Set up a proportion and you have
5/9 = ?/3708
3708/9=412
412x5= 2060 girls
3708-2060= 1648
