If a 42.9 ft tall flagpole casts a 253.1 ft long shadow then how long is the shadow that a 6.2 ft tall woman casts?

blsea [12.9K]

We will have to use proportions:
$\frac{42.9}{253.1} = \frac{6.2}{x}$
Cross multiplying we get
$42.9x = 6.2 \times 253.1$
Now divide:
$x = \frac{6.2 \times 253.1}{42.9}$
Solve to tenths place we get
$x = 36.6$
The woman casts a 36.6 ft long shadow.

What would be the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints at (0,1)<br> and <br>(5,7) ?

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

(2.5, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ), then midpoint is

[0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Given

(0, 1) and (5, 7), then

midpoint = [ 0.5(0 + 5), 0.5(1 + 7) ] = (0.5(5), 0.5(8)) = (2.5, 4)
