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

Answer:

So the vaule of y is 7, 10 & 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y = 3x+1 . So we can just substitute x-value into the equation :

Let x=2,

y = 3(2)+1

= 7

Let x=3,

y = 3(3)+1

= 10

Let x=4,

y = 3(4)+1

= 13

A garden measuring 9 meters by 4 meters is going to have a walkway constructed all around the perimeter, increasing the total ar
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pathway be x

Area: (9+2x)(4+2x)

36 + 8x + 18x + 4x²

4x² + 26x + 36

Increased area is 150:

4x² + 26x + 36 = 150

4x² + 26x - 114 = 0

2x² + 13x - 57 = 0

2x² + 19x - 6x - 57 = 0

x(2x + 19) - 3(2x + 19) = 0

(x - 3)(2x + 19) = 0

x = 3, x = -19/2
