Answer:

20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow of the building will look like a right triangle. In this problem, the hypotenuse of the triangle is 25 meters, and one of the sides is 15 meters. What we are trying to find is the length of the other side.

We can do this by using pythagoreans theorem.

15^2 + x^2 = 25^2\\225 + x^2 = 625\\x^2 = 400\\x =  20

So, the last side (or the height of the building) is 20 meters.

CWhat is the vertex of the quadratic<br> y = 2(x – 3)2 + 6​
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

vertex = (3, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

y = 2(x - 3)² + 6 ← is in vertex form

with vertex = (h, k ) = (3, 6 )

A woodworker makes wooden checkerboards. her profit is a function of the price she charges. this graph shows her total profits,
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the profit is defined as the difference between the revenue and the cost.

So, having a profit y = 0 means that the woodworker did not win nor lose anything.

Then the zeros of the function, the values of x such that the graph intersects the x-axis, are the prices such that she does not win nor loss anything.

In the graph we can see that the zeros are at:

x = 15 (the first one)

x = 70 (the second one)

so the zeros are at x = 15 and x = 70, and these are the prices such that the profit is zero, so at these prices she does not make nor lose money.

The correct option is B.
