Answer:

The height of the building is 3636 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and one unknown, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. In the case of direct proportionality, when one magnitude increases, the other increases (or when one magnitude decreases the other magnitude will also decrease)

This is an example of direct proportionality where the rule of three can be applied as follows:

44 feet (Long of the shadow of your friend) ⇒ 66 feet (Height of your friend)

2424 feet (Long of the shadow of the building) ⇒ x (Height of the building)

So, to solve this direct proportionality you do the following calculation:

x=\frac{2424*66}{44}

x=\frac{159984}{44}

<em>x=3636</em>

<em>This means that the height of the building is 3636 feet long</em>

The area of circle B is 121 times greater than the area of circle A. The radius of circle B is 44. What is the radius of circle
xxMikexx [17]
<em>Formula:</em>
\bigg( \dfrac{radius_1}{radius_2} \bigg)^2 =  \dfrac{area_1}{area_2}

<em>Plug in the values:</em>
\bigg( \dfrac{r}{44} \bigg)^2 = \dfrac{1}{121}

<em>Simplify LHS:</em>
\dfrac{r^2}{1936}  = \dfrac{1}{121}

<em>Multiply by 1936 on both sides:</em>
r^2  = \dfrac{1936}{121}&#10;

<em>Simplify RHS:</em>
r^2 = 16

<em>Square root both sides:</em>
r = 4

Answer: The radius is 4 units. (Answer B)

Cole says that all quadrilaterals are polygons but not all polygons are quadrilaterals is he correct explain������
zepelin [54]
YES, this is correct. All quadrilaterals whether is a trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus and others, they are all polygons and all they have 4 sides and 4 angles. We know that a polygon is a figure with at least three sides and three angles.

Not all polygons are quadrilateral, this is also correct since some polygons have five or more sides and angles.
