I take it that we are to assume that the ratio between the actual length and the shadow length are directly proportional


so therefor we set up the following proprtion

actual height: shadow height=40ft:16ft

we are given that the tree is actually 27ft

so
40ft:16ft=27ft:?ft
make into a fraction
40ft/16ft=27ft/?ft
cross multiply or multiply both sides by 16?ft²
40?ft²=432ft²
divide both sides by 40ft
?ft=10.8ft
the length of the shadow is therfore 10.8ft

this is a ratio:

40/16 = 27/x

cross multiply:

40x = (16*27)=

40x=432

x = 432/40 = 10.8 feet

Fond the value of x.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of internal angles in a triangle is equal to 180

58 + 47 + x = 180

105 + x = 180 subtract 105 from both sides

x = 75

1) m - 38 = -44 * m = --6 o m = 6 m = 82 O m = --82​
galina1969 [7]

m-38=-44

    +38     +38       add 38 on both sides, solve for -44 + 38 which is -6.

__________

m = -6, is your final answer.

hope this helps :)

Can someone help me with a question!?!?
Len [333]

If the parent graph f(x) = x² is changed to f(x) = 2x², the vertex of the parabola will still remain (0, 0) because whenever the equation of a parabola is in the form y = ax², the vertex will always be (0, 0).

Now if <em>a</em> is a big number, the parabola will become narrower.

So it will stretch vertically and become narrower.
