Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let me think aha!
Answer:
hi! so for perpendicular it's negative reciprocal!
so is -4/3 and 3/4 negative reciprocals?
oh and remember reciprocals are flipped!
if you still don't get it let me know aha
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
w / h = u / HG
w = 8
h = 48
u = 5
lets use h / w = HG / u this is the same relationship but looks easier to me
48/8 = HG / 5
6 = HG / 5
6 * 5 = HG
30 = HG
not too tuff... when you set the relationship so it's easiest :)
and yes.. we cold have swapped the fractions and done it the other way and gotten the same answer.. but maybe with a bit more algebra.. and... avoid extra algebra ... that's where the mistakes can be made :P
Y=kx
k=constant of variation
given
k=12
y=36
36=12*x
divide both sides by 12
3=x
x=3
Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
