X is the variable used in place of the building's height. I apologize if you can't read my hand writing very well.

The height of the building is 200 feet

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Solving linear equation mean calculating the unknown variable from the equation.

Let the linear equation : y = mx + c

If we draw the above equation on Cartesian Coordinates , it will be a straight line with :

<em>m → gradient of the line</em>

<em>( 0 , c ) → y - intercept</em>

Gradient of the line could also be calculated from two arbitrary points on line ( x₁ , y₁ ) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) with the formula :

\large {\boxed {m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}} }

If point ( x₁ , y₁ ) is on the line with gradient m , the equation of the line will be :

\large {\boxed {y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1 )} }

Let us tackle the problem.

This probem is about Directly Proportionality.

<u>Given</u> :

Length of Building's shadow = s₁ = 48 feet

Length of Flagpole's shadow = s₂ = 9.6 feet

Height of Flagpole = h₂ = 40 feet

<u>Unknown :</u>

Height of Building = h₁ = ?

<u>Solution :</u>

Because length of shadow is directly proportional to the height of the object , then :

s_1 : s_2 = h_1 : h_2

48 : 9.6 = h_1 : 40

h_1 = \frac{48}{9.6} \times 40

\large {\boxed {h_1 = 200 ~ \text{feet}} }

Suppose a charity received a donation of 12.7 million. If this represents 29% of the charity's donated funds, what is the total
DanielleElmas [232]

The total amount of its donated funds is  43\frac{23}{29}.

Given,

In the question:

A charity received a donation of 12.7 million.

If this represents 29% of the charity's donated funds.

To find the total amount of its donated funds.

Now, According to the question:

Based on the given conditions:

Received donation is = 12.7 million

Charity Funds = 29%

Formulate;

12.7 ÷ 29%

12.7/29%

= 12.7/0.29

Multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer

= 1270/29

= 43\frac{23}{29}

Hence,  The total amount of its donated funds is  43\frac{23}{29}.
