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

Evaluate rs + 14s when r = 6 and s = 8

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 6 for r, and 8 for s in the expression:

(r)(s) + (14)(s) = (6)(8) + (14)(8)

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, multiply, then add:

(6 * 8) + (14 * 8)

48 + 112

112 + 48 = 160

160 is your answer.

A board game has 25 cards, each printed with a number from 1 through 25. Sameer shuffled the cards, and then selected 1 card.

Yuki888 [10]

Total number of cards = 25 .
Total number of possible draws = 25
Number of possible successes = 5

(The successful draws are 1, 2, 3, 9, and 18.)

Probability of success = 5/25 = <em>1/5 </em> = 0.2 = 20%

Find the perimeter of WXYZ. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

C. 15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of WXYZ = WX + XY + YZ + ZW

Use the distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ to calculate the length of each segment.

✔️Distance between W(-1, 1) and X(1, 2):

Let,

$W(-1, 1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$X(1, 2) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$WX = \sqrt{(1 - (-1))^2 + (2 - 1)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (1)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{4 + 1}$

$WX = \sqrt{5}$

$WX = 2.24$

✔️Distance between X(1, 2) and Y(2, -4)

Let,

$X(1, 2) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Y(2, -4) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$XY = \sqrt{(2 - 1)^2 + (-4 - 2)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (-6)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{1 + 36}$

$XY = \sqrt{37}$

$XY = 6.08$

✔️Distance between Y(2, -4) and Z(-2, -1)

Let,

$Y(2, -4) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Z(-2, -1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$YZ = \sqrt{(-2 - 2)^2 + (-1 -(-4))^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (3)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{16 + 9}$

$YZ = \sqrt{25}$

$YZ = 5$

✔️Distance between Z(-2, -1) and W(-1, 1)

Let,

$Z(-2, -1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$W(-1, 1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$ZW = \sqrt{(-1 -(-2))^2 + (1 - (-1))^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (2)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{1 + 4}$

$ZW = \sqrt{5}$

$ZW = 2.24$

✅Perimeter = 2.24 + 6.08 + 5 + 2.24 = 15.56

≈ 15.6
