The answer is in the question. If it is a similar shadow wouldn't it be the same?
25 feet

You can solve these word problems using ratios and proportions.

Imagine the side of the building is one side to a triangle and the second would be from the top of the building to the point where the shadow ends and the third is from the base of the building to the point where the shadow ends. Just use the pythagoreon theorem to find stuff. I can't solve the problem you gave because you would need the height of the building

Walden’s family is shopping for a reclining chair. The chair the family decided on has a retail price of $800 plus 5% sales tax
Marianna [84]

Answer:

B 10% off sale, with a total price to pay of 756

Step-by-step explanation:

Retail price (Rp) = $800

Taxes (T) = 5%

  • Offer A $75 instant rebate

Total price A (TA) = Rp - 75 + (Rp - 75) 5%

TA = 800 - 75 + (800-75) 5%

TA = 725 + 725 5%

725 5% = 725*5/100 = 36.25

TA= 725+36.25 = $761.25

  • Offer B 10% off sale

Total price B (TB) = RP - RP 10% + (RP - RP 10%) 5%

TB = 800 - 800 10% + (800 - 800 10%) 5%

800 10% = 800*10/100 = 80

TB = 800 - 80 + (800 - 80) 5%

TB = 720 + 720 5%

720 5% = 720*5/100 = 36

TB = 720 + 36 = $756

  • Offer C 5% off sale plus store pays sales tax

store pays sales tax means Walden's family will not need pay for taxes

Total price C (TC) = RP - RP 5%

TC = 800 - 800 5%

800 5% = 800*5/100 = 40

TC = 800 - 40 = $760

  • Offer D a “no tax” sale—the store pays the tax

Means that Walden's family will need pay just the retail price

TD = $800

The beast deal is from the store B

Find the x and y intercepts of the following function.<br> g(x)=x^2-5x-84
Ahat [919]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the function

g(0) = 0 - 0 - 84 = - 84 ← y- intercept

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² - 5x - 84 = 0

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 84) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

The factors are - 12 and + 7, since

- 12 × 7 = - 84 and - 12 + 7 = - 5, thus

(x - 12)(x + 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 12
