Answer:

169 m

Step-by-step explanation:

See the image below.

Line AB represents the monument and line BC its shadow

Line DB represents the man and Line BE it shadow.

The Sun’s rays are parallel, so AC||DE.

Then ∆ABC ~ ∆DBE

AB:BC::DB:BE

x/65.8 = 1.8/0.7     Multiply both sides by 65.8

       x = 65.6 × 1.8/0.7  

       x = 65.6 × 2.571

       x = 169 m

The height of the Washington monument is 169 m.

What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table (-2,5) (-1,4) (0,3) (1,2)
poizon [28]

The rate of change of the linear relationship is -1.

Explanation:

It is given that there is a linear relationship between all these points, these points lie on a straight line.

The equation to find the slope passing through two points \left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) and \left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right) is given by

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Substituting the points (-2,5) and (-1,4), we get,

\begin{aligned}m &=\frac{4-5}{-1+2} \\&=\frac{-1}{1} \\&=-1\end{aligned}

Thus, the slope is -1.

Thus, the rate of change of the linear relationship is -1.

A pencil and an eraser cost 1.10 together. if the pencil costs one dollar more than the eraser how much does the eraser cost
Kazeer [188]

1 pencil + 1 eraser = $1.10


Pencil cost $1 more than the eraser.

⇒ If we take away $1 from the total, both the pencil and the eraser will cost the same.

⇒ $1.10 - $1.00 = $0.10


Divide by 2 to find the cost of the eraser.

⇒$0.10 ÷ 2 = $0.05


Find the cost of the pencil, which is $1 more than the eraser.

⇒ $0.05 + $1 = $1.05


Answer: The eraser costs $0.05

Help me this is due last week help me,
Alja [10]

Answer:

1 and 3 are irrational!!! The others are all rational

Step-by-step explanation:

1 and 3 are never terminating and they are not repeating, therefore, they are irrational! All the others are either terminal (they have a decimal that stops) or they are repeting and those repeting numbers can be written as a fraction, for example 0.2222... can be written as 2/9
