Set up and solve an equation of ratios.  Comparing shadow lengths, we get 100/6; comparing heights, we get x/8.  Set these two ratios equal to one another and solve the resulting equation for x:

100       x
----- = ------      Then 6x=800, and x = 800 feet^2 over 6 feet.  Your answer 
   6        8

must have the unit of measurement "ft."

Barry is trying to calculate the distance between point E(3, 1) and point F(4, 7). Which of the following expressions will he us
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Option (1) is correct.

Barry uses the expression " square root of the quantity of 7 minus 1 all squared plus 4 minus 3 all squared " to find the distance between point E(3, 1) and point F(4, 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Barry is trying to calculate the distance between point E(3, 1) and point F(4, 7).

Distance between two points can be calculate using distance formula,

Distance formula states given two points P(a,b) and Q(c,d)  the distance between P and Q can be calculated using the given expression ,

D=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}

Thus,  distance between point E(3, 1) and point F(4, 7) can be calculate using above formula as ,

Here, a= 3 , b= 1 , c = 4 and d = 7

D=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}

Substitute above values, we get,

D=\sqrt{(4-3)^2+(7-1)^2}

D=\sqrt{(1)^2+(6)^2}

D=\sqrt{37}

Thus, Barry uses the expression " square root of the quantity of 7 minus 1 all squared plus 4 minus 3 all squared " to find the distance between point E(3, 1) and point F(4, 7).

Thus, Option (1) is correct.
