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

A=1/2(b1-b2)h <br><br> Solve for h
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

2A/ (b1-b2) =h

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/2 (b1-b2) *h

Multiply each side by 2

2A = 2 *1/2*(b1-b2) *h

2A = (b1-b2) *h

Divide by (b1-b2)

2A/ (b1-b2) = (b1-b2)/(b1-b2) *h

2A/ (b1-b2) =h

Convert the following statement using an "if-then" structure.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

  D. If John owns a dog, then he owns a cat

Step-by-step explanation:

The implication p → q (if p, then q) has the same truth table as the logical expression ~p∨q. You have the expression ...

  ~(John owns a dog) ∨ (he owns a cat)

Matching parts of this expression to the components of the expression ~p∨q, we see we can choose ...

  • p = John owns a dog
  • q = he owns a cat

and put those into the structure of the implication: if p, then q.

  If John owns a dog, then he owns a cat. . . . . matches choice D

If John has 1107 bars of chocolate and wants to give each of his 10 friends an even amount each, what would each friend get? Wha
Nutka1998 [239]
Divide 1107 by 10, for example:

1107/10= 110.7

The decimal point means the remainder, this means John will only get 7 chocolate bars. 

If You want it split evenly between ALL of them, divide by 1107 by 11, for example: 

1107/11= 100.6, which would leave six bars left, so I think the logical offer would be the first answer I gave you. 

I hope this helped!
