Answer:

C) 7 ft 4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadows are assumed to be proportional to the height of the object casting them. Hence the brother's shadow will satisfy ...

shadow/(6 ft) = (5.5 ft)/(4.5 ft) = 11/9 . . . . . reduce the fraction

shadow = (6 ft) · (11/9) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 6 ft

shadow = 7 1/3 ft = 7 ft 4 in

The area of a triangular block is 16 squre inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and th
klemol [59]
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula 

1/2 (base) (height)

Let's substitute our known values, letting x represent the value of the height of the triangle.

16  = 1/2* x* 2x

Let's Simplify!

16 = x^2

Finally, lets take the square root of both sides, to get rid of the exponent on the right side of the equation.

x= positive OR negative 4.

However, because x is equal to the height, we know that it can't be negative, so we know that it is positive 4.

The height of the triangle = 4 inches
The base of the triangle = 2h = 8 inches

If the Alexanders completed the 735 mile trip in 15 hours, what was their average rate of travel?
Darina [25.2K]
The rate of travel here is in mph - "miles per hour".

That just means how many miles you can travel in one hour. In this problem, you're given 15 hours, and the distance they travel within those 15 hours.

Therefore, you should divide both the number of miles and the number of hours by 15 to find out how far they can travel in 1 hour.

735 ÷ 15 = 49 miles
15 ÷ 15 = 1 hour

Their average rate of travel was 49 miles in 1 hour, which is 49 mph.
