Answer

14.4 ft~

Step-by-step explanation

A kite is flying 12 feet off the ground, therefore the height is 12 (assuming the line is tied to the ground if a person is holding the line then the height would be less)

Assuming the sun is positioned in such a way that the shadow represents a horizontal distance. Horizontal distance of shadow = 8

Use Pythagoras Theorem

Where a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 12^2 = 208

Square root 208 = 14.4~

To host school groups on field trips, a museum charges a flat fee of $250 plus $8 for each student who attends. If a school can
Law Incorporation [45]
First of all, you have to define the value which cannot be changed, in this case it is  $250, becuase it is a fixed fee.Then subtract 250 the fee from the amout of money that school can spend = 335
Then divide remaining cash by 8 the price per student : 335:8
and you will get 41.875
As you can see, you have to round the number down to 41, otherwise we would go over the school budget.
Therefore, the number of students is 41.

Please may I have help with these questions. I’m really confused <br> Thank you

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you need to do is take the two points (1, -5) and (3, -1) and subtract them. You take y of the second group and subtract y of the first group.

-1 - (-5) = 4

Now you do the first numbers in each group with the second set being the number you subtract from.

3 - 1 = 2

Now you do \frac{Rise}{Run}. Rise = 4 Run = 2

\frac{4}{2} = 2

Now the second part is saying y = 3x + c with your first set of numbers being x and y.

x = 1

y = -5

-5 = 3(1) + c

-5 = 3 + c

Subtract 3 from -5

-8 = c

The final answer is:

y = 3x - 8

HELP i dont know how to do this
Korvikt [17]

Answer

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets go through B-D and explain why they are correct.

B= f represents the number of flash drives. This means that the coefficient, 10, would be the cost per flash drive.

C= n represents the number of cases of paper. it says so in the question, so that one is a bit easier.

D= f represents the amount of packages of hanging folders. If the coefficient for B is the cost, then that would be the same case for D. Therefore it is correct because the coefficient is 13.

A would be incorrect because the coefficient represents the amount that one item costs. P is the packs of pencils, meaning that it would be $7 per pack of pencils.


Hope this helps!
