The concept useful in finding the answer to this item is ratio and proportion, the ratio of the height of your friend with the shadow casted should be proportional to the height of the rock with the length of the shadow it cast. That is,
                       5.5 ft / 18 ft = x ft/ 209.5 ft
The value of x from the equation above is 64 ft.

Answer:

To the nearest feet, the rock is 64 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the friend = 5.5 feet

Height of friend's shadow = 18 feet

Height of the rock's shadow = 209.5 feet

Let the height of the rock be = x

We can represent this situation is ratio form.

\frac{5.5}{18}= \frac{x}{209.5}

=> 18x=209.5\times5.5

=> 18x=1152.25

=> x=64.01

So, to the nearest feet, the rock is 64 feet tall.

The student simplified wrong because when he brought a to the numerator, he forgot to change the sign of the exponent. Instead of getting a^2 in the numerator (by adding 4 + -2), he should have gotten a^6 (by adding 4 + 2)

Answer: 200 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The length at the bottom is 10 and all sides of the 15x15 square are all 15, therefore the bottom length is 25. This is because the shape consists of all squares, so the sides are all equal.

This means the area of the entire rectangle is 25x25=625 units².

The bottom left corner triangle is 10x10=100 units².

The bottom right corner triangle is 15x15=225 units².

The whole diagram is symmetrical due to it having squares (which are regular and all sides are equal), we can assume the square at the top right is also 10x10=100 units².

All that remains is to find the shaded region, by taking away the rest of the area of the squares from the total area.

225+100+100= 425 units²

625-425= 200 units²
