Answer:

20 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

If these are at the same angle, which i'm assuming they are, the following would happen:

Put length of 1 item over its shadows length equal to 2nd items length over its shadow. Put x in the place you want to find (Lamp in this case)

(3/1.8)=(x/12)

Cross multiply

36=1.8x

Divide by 1.8 on both sides

20=x

5 is A, because it's the only number that is whole when square rooted.
6 is confusing because it only gives you one number per answer, unless you are to add the two distances together? Then it would be 7 because X's distance is +4 and Y's distance is +3
I do not have an answer for 7
8 is 3.7 (or C)
9 is an easy one. Find out what the L and W is, and since it's a square we only need to find one of them. We square root the area and we are given 14.96662955, if rounded we get 15. So the answer is A
10 I don't understand the "estimate" for a square root number, I was not taught that.

Answer:

-57

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Use BOMAS</u></h2>

B- brackets

O- of

M- multiplication

A- addition

S - subtraction

-3[1+2(4+5)]

first solve what is in the brackets

(4+5) = 9

place 9 in the brackets

-3[1+2(9)]

now multiply the 2 and 9

2*9 = 18

-3[1+18)]

1+ 18 = 19

now multiply the (-3) with 19

= <u>-57</u>
