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

(Multiying by a unit fraction. Find the product mentally. (5.6) × 1/8=

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

(5.6) × 1/8

$(5.6) \cdot \frac{1}{8}$

Here the unit fraction is 1/8

multiply 5.6 times 1

so its 5.6. then divide the decimal by 8

we know that 8 times 7 is 56

so 56 divide by 8 is 7

we have decimal point 1 number to the left

so we move decimal point 2 place left

Hence 5.6 divide by 8 is 0.7

$(5.6) \cdot \frac{1}{8}=0.7$

Answer: 0.7

Factor the polynomial

Art [367]

Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

GCF = 2x

Factor out the GCF (Write the GCF first and then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

2x (2x^3/2x + 4x^2/2x + 6x/2x)

Simplify each term in parentheses

-2x(x^2 + 2x + 3)

<u>Answer D. -2(x^2 + 2x + 3)</u>

There are a lot of numbers you can think of, for example, 1030, or even 9939, but I don't recommend you put that ;)
