It would be 10 ft.

You set up a right triangle with the base being 8 ft (the shadow), the height being 6 ft (his height) and you need the hypotenuse, a straight line from his actual head to his head in the shadow.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
36 + 64 = c^2
100 = c^2
take the square root of both sides
10 = c

Do you agree with the researchers method of predicting the population? Why or why not?
Burka [1]

Yes, I agree with the researcher's method. All the values of a_{n} in the table correspond to the values of n by using their formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

If we substitute the values of n in the researcher's equation and we get the right values of a_{n}, we can agree with the researcher's method.

The researcher's formula is a_{n} = 1000(2)^{n-1}. Here a_{n} is the wombat population and n is the number of years.

Step 2:

When n = 1, a_{1} = 1000(2)^{1-1} =  1000(1) = 1,000,

when n = 2, a_{2} = 1000(2)^{2-1} = 1000(2) = 2,000,

when n = 3, a_{3} = 1000(2)^{3-1} = 1000(4) = 4,000,

when n = 4, a_{4} = 1000(2)^{4-1} = 1000(8) = 8,000,

when n = 5, a_{5} = 1000(2)^{5-1} = 1000(16) = 16,000.

As all the values correspond to the values on the table, I agree with the researcher's method.

What digits makes 3,71? Divisible by 3 (connections academy unit test)
wlad13 [49]

Since we know that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all digits is divisible by 3.

Let us check which digits will make 371? divisible by 3.

3+7+1+0=11

11 is not divisible by 3.

Now let us check other digits as well.

3+7+1+1=12

12 is divisible by 3.

3+7+1+4=15

15 is also divisible by 3.

3+7+1+7=18

18 is divisible by 3 as well.

Therefore, 1, 4 and 7 in tenth place will make our number divisible by 3 and our numbers will be 3711, 3714 and 3717.
