Answer:

2.5477 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the image attached to understand my solution.

BC = height of lamppost.

DE = Julia

AD = shadow of Julia

BD = 2 feet.      AD = 5 feet

BA = BD + AD

       = 2 + 5 = 7 feet

In ΔABC

tan 20° = \frac{BC}{BA}  = \frac{BC}{7}

BC = 7 * tan 20°

BC = 2.5477 feet

SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet

The amount of money Chaz earned for walking dogs is given in the table. Can the relationship be described by a constant rate? Ex
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Yes, the relationship can be described by a constant rate of $18.75 per dog

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

x ----> the number of dogs

y ---> the amount of money earned

we have the points

(6,112,50), (8,150), (11,206.25)

step 1

Find the slope with the first and second point

(6,112,50), (8,150)

m=(150-112.50)/(8-6)=18.75

step 2

Find the slope with the first and third point

(6,112,50), (11,206.25)

m=(206.25-112.50)/(11-6)=18.75

Compare the slopes

The slopes are the same

That means, that the three points lies on the same line

therefore

Yes, the relationship can be described by a constant rate of $18.75 per dog

Hayley has $155 in savings, and her brother Hank has $230. Hayley is saving $10 each week, and her brother is spending $15 each
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

After 3 weeks they both will have the same amount in their savings account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount saved by Haley = $155

Amount saved by Hank = $230

Amount saving each week by Haley = $10

Amount spending each week by Hank = $15

We need to find Number of weeks when both both will have same amount in savings account.

Solution:

Let Number of week be 'x'.

Total Amount of Haley can be calculated by Amount saved by Haley plus Amount saving each week by Haley multiplied by number of weeks.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Amount of Haley = 155+10x

Also;

Total Amount of Hank can be calculated by Amount saved by Hank minus Amount spending each week by Hank multiplied by number of weeks.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Amount of Hank = 230-15x

Now we need to find the number of weeks when both will have same amount.

To find the same we will have to make both the equation equal.

So we can say.

155+10x=230-15x

On Solving above equation we get;

We will combine the like terms together;

10x+15x =230-155\\\\25x = 75

Now Dividing both side by 25 using Division property of equality we get;

\frac{25x}{25} = \frac{75}{25}\\\\x=3 \ weeks

Hence, After 3 weeks they both will have the same amount in their savings account.
