We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.
We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.

Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:




Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.
Answer:
x = 12
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 16
x - y = 8
y + 8 = x
Replace x with y + 8 in the new equation
8 + 2y = 16 ----> we can minus 8 on both sides
2y = 8 -----> divide both sides by 2
y = 4
Now for the x value
x + 4 = 16 ----> minus 4 on both sides
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:


Note that


Therefore,

Answer:
30.25
Step-by-step explanation:
All angles of a line must add up to 180. Since we already know that one angle is 90 degrees, we know that the other angles should add up to 90 degrees in order for all of the angles to add up to 180 degrees:
(3x-7)+(x+8)=90
4x+1=90
4x=89
x=22.25
22.25+8= 30.25
