Answer:

The height of the birdhouse is 20ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of bird house shadow = 14 feet

Length of your friend shadow = 3.5 feet

Height of your friend = 5 feet

Height of the birdhouse = ?

To find the height of the birdhouse we will compare the quality of the two parameters.

Height of your friend / Length of your friend shadow = Height of the birdhouse / Height of the birdhouse

Therefore we have:

5ft/3.5ft = x/14ft

Cross multiple

3.5x = 70

x = 70/3.5

x = 20ft.

Therefore, the height of the birdhouse is 20ft

What are the coefficients for the binomial expansion of (p+q)^6
seropon [69]

Answer:

1 6 15 20 15 6 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, we need to look at Pascal's Triangle, which is a tricky little way to find the coefficients for any binomial expression like this! Check the attached photo.

Because this is to the sixth, we need the 6th row, which is <u>1 6 15 20 15 6 1.</u> From this, we know that those numbers are the coefficients!
