The answer is 48 feet (D).

Explanation:

To solve this, you must think of the monument and its shadow and Adam and his shadow as a triangle, the person/object being the vertical leg, the shadows being the horizontal leg, and a line connecting them being the hypotenuse.  Also, we can assume that these triangles are similar.  First, we can set the scale to be 40/5 (the two shadows set a scale because the triangles are similar).  Then, we can put x/6 (the actual things are similar, and the scale was established to be building/measurement).  Next, we can set the two fractions equal to each other (40/5 = x/6) and solve.  We can cross multiply to get 5x = 40 * 6.  That goes to  5x = 240.  Finally, we can divide by five on each side to get x = 48 feet (D).

Y = -2.8x +69.4

Let y represent units of inventory, and x represent days since the last replenishment. We are given points (x, y) = (3, 61) and (13, 33). The line through these points can be described using the 2-point form of the equation of a line:
... y -y1 = (y2-y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1)
Filling in the given point values, we have ...
... y -61 = (33 -61)/(13 -3)(x -3)
Simplifying and adding 61, we get ...
... y = -2.8x +69.4

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

3:5 <em>the colon is needed to represent the ratio</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 10

g = 4

y = 30 - 14 = 6

y = 6

so ratio of total balls is 10:4:6

and ratio of y:r is

6:10

simply by dividing by 2

Brrunno [24]

If the framed picture is shaped like a square and has a 12 square foot surface area, then the answer is yes, it will fit flush against the edge of the crate.

Given Part A:

the volume of the cube = 64 cubic feet

therefore, ∛64 = 4 feet

hence one edge measures 4 feet.

Now for Part B:

the area of the square is 12 square feet.

hence, √12 = 3.36 feet.

we can observe that 3.46<4

which indicates that the area covered by the painting is less than that of the one side of the crate, which makes it easy for the painting to fit in the crate.

Hence the painting will fit a side of crate.
