Answer:

12 ft  9 5/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this.  Put the height of the object over the shadow.  Change the height of the object to inches

Alonzo

5 ft 11 inches = 5 ft *12 inches/ft + 11 inches = 60 inches + 11 inches = 71 inches

2 ft shadow = 2* 12 inches/ ft = 24 inches

Basketball goal

4 ft 4 inches =  4 ft *12 inches/ft + 4 inches = 48inches + 4 inches = 52 inches

Alonzo             Basketball      

71 inches         x inches tall

------------   = --------------------

24 inches     52 inches

Using cross products

71*52 = 24*x

Divide each side by 24

71*52/24 = 24x/24

923/6 =x

Lets change this to a mixed number

6 goes into 923  153 times   with 5 left over

153  5/6 inches

Now we need to change inches to feet

How many time does 12 go into 153  12 times  (12*12 =144  with 9 left over)

12 ft  9 5/6 inches

Rewrite the following linear equation to slope form :y+2=7(2x-4)
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

y = 14x -30

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form is:

y = mx + b,

Slope intercept form is useful for finding the slope and y intercept of a line, hence why it is called "slope intercept" because it is easy to see the slope and the y intercept of a line in this form. Since the slope denoted by m, and y intercept denoted by b are clearly given.

y + 2 = 7(2x - 4)

Distribute 7 across the parentheses by multiplying x and 2x and 4 by 7.

y+2 = 14x - 28

subtract 2 from both sides. This cancels the 2 on the left and moves it to the right, while keeping the equation balanced.

y+2 -2 = 14x - 28 -2

y  = 14x - 30

y = 14x -30

As you can see our y = 14x -30 now looks like the point slope equation we had above. m = 14, and  b = -30. This means the line goes up 14 for every single unit you move to the right, and intersects the y axis at  (0, -30).

Please mark me brainliest.

NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no of cars be x and no of buses be y.

x + y = 60 -> y = 60 - x

6x + 30y = 600

with the available equations let us calculate the values of x and y.

6x + 30 * (60-x) = 600

6x + 1800 - 30x = 600

24x = 1200

x cars = 50

y buses = 10

maximum profit = 50 * 2.5 + 10 * 7.5 = $200

Are shape I and shape Il similar? If so, give the dilation that proves they are similar. If not, explain why the shapes are not
joja [24]

Answer:

They are similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

They are similar because, the top triangle has one more square to the height as well as the width. If you take one square away from the height and width the top triangle is the same size as the bottom triangle.

Find the following when a = -1, b = 2, c = -1/4<br> (4b - 3)/(2a) -1
Katena32 [7]
We substitute the given into the equation
given: a=-1, b=2, c=\frac{-1}{4}
=(\frac{4b-3}{2a}-1
=\frac{4(2)-3}{2(-1)}-1
=\frac{8-3}{-2}-1
=\frac{5}{-2}-1
to continue, we can either find a common denominator or change the fraction to decimal.
Fraction to Decimal:
\frac{5}{-2}=-2.5
Equation=-2.5-1=-3.5
OR Common Denominator:
=\frac{5}{-2}\frac{-1}{1}×\frac{-2}{-2}         (denominator should be -2=common)
=\frac{5}{-2}+\frac{2}{-2}
=\frac{7}{-2}
which also = to -3.5
