Height of n1 divided by shadow of n1 = height of n2 divided by shadow of n2. 5/8 = n/20 , or to put it in other words, 5 divided by 8, then multiplied bu 20, which is 12.5ft.

Answer:

The equation to solve is h=\frac{20*5}{8} and as a result it is obtained that the lamppost height is 12.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three. Remember that proportionality is a constant relationship or ratio between different magnitudes.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other, the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

The direct rule of three is the rule applied in this case as follows: if you are 5 feet tall and cast a shadow of 8 feet, how much will be the height (h) of the lamppost if you cast a shadow of 20 feet?

h=\frac{20*5}{8}

h=12.5 feet

So, <u><em>the equation to solve is h=\frac{20*5}{8} and as a result it is obtained that the lamppost height is 12.5 feet.</em></u>

Which equation demonstrates the multiplicative identity property?
dedylja [7]

Answer: Further explanation

There are several number operations that involve multiplication:

1. commutative

2. associative

3. closed

Multiplication between integers will produce integers too

4. distributive property

* addition

* substraction

5. identity

The multiplicative identity property is a multiplicative property in mathematics where each number multiplied by 1 will produce the original number or can be stated simply  :

"The product of any number and one is that number"

So The Multiplicative Identity is 1

can be stated in the formula:

From the available answer choices

a) (- 3 + 5i) + 0 = -3 + 5i

this is an addition operation and not multiplication while O is an identity in the sum operation, so the statement is false

b) (-3 + 5i) (1) = -3 + 5i

this is a multiplication operation and 1 is a Multiplicative Identity of multiplication, so the statement is true

c) (-3 + 5i) (-3 + 5i) = -16-30i

d) (-3 + 5i) (-3 + 5i) = 16 + 30i

choice c and is a multiplication factor, so the statement is false

Please help just looking for the answer

Answer: Correct Answer is 4th option , 28


Step-by-step explanation:


We can find the measure of the angle using the tangent.


We know, tangent of an angle = Perpendicular/Base, corresponding to that angle.


So, Tan of angle T = RG / RT

or, Tan of angle T = 8/15

or, angle T = tan inverese of 8/15

or, angle T = 28.07


So, angle T rounded to nearest degree = 28


Hope this helps.


Thank you.

For what real values of does the quadratic 12x^2+k*x+27=0 have nonreal roots
icang [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Discriminant : k² - 4(12)(27) < 0

So k² - 1296 < 0, -36 < k < 36.
