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).

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Controlled Experiment

Step-by-step explanation:

The controlled experiment involves the experiment in which all factors are considered as constants whereas one factor is not fixed and that one is independent variable whose effect is to be tested. In short,  in controlled experiment one group of data contains control group and one or more other groups are examined by considering all other factors constant except for one factor. The control group is the group that doesn't receive any treatment whereas treatment is applied to experimental group and then effect of treatment is measured through comparing both groups.  

Here group of boys is divided in to two groups

The group watched violent cartoon= Experimental group

The group watched  cartoons without violence= Control group

The researchers want to know whether the violent actions of boys are linked to violent cartoon  and for this purpose these boys are divided into experimental group and control group and after 1 hour of cartoons watching the researcher will observed boys for next two hours.

Hence the study is Controlled experiment.
