Mathematics

Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 93 1/3 ft  shadow of the tree

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using proportions.  We will put the height of the object over the shadow

6ft  man          40 ft tree

------------      =  ---------------

14 ft shadow      x ft shadow

Using cross products

6 * x = 14 * 40

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 14/6 * 40

x = 93.33333(repeating)

x = 93 1/3 ft

Two math classes took the same quiz. The scores of 10 randomly selected students from each class are listed below. • Sample of C
padilas [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the medians which is when you put the numbers in number order and find the one in the middle.

Class A: 60,65,70,70,75,80,80,85,90,90

=77.5

Class B: 75,85,85,85,90,90,90,90,95,100

=90

That the class B is more advanced, and they probably studied.

What is the y intercept of a line that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (2,7)
Tom [10]
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(2,7)...x = 7 and y = 2
now we sub and fund b, the y int
2 = -3(7) + b
2 = -21 + b
2 + 21 = b
23 = b <== ur y int

Which graph represents the equation 12 = 32 + 4y? Explain how you know.
sergeinik [125]
What graph?
BTW the answer to that equation is: x=5
12=32+4y
12-12= 0 (cancels out)
32-12= 20
20 divided by 4= 5
Therefore, x=5

Which of the following lines is perpendicular to the line Y = 3x -4
andriy [413]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a line is perpendicular to another, their slopes will be opposite reciprocal. For example, 1 would be -1, -3 would be \frac{1}{3} , and \frac{5}{1} would be -5. The equation is written in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m is the slope, so find the equation with the opposite reciprocal of 3, -\frac{1}{3}:

y=-\frac{1}{3} x+4 is the only option with the correct slope, so the answer is D.
