height :legnth of shadow=56:49 (man's shadow)
we assume the ratio is the same for the tower thing (obelisk)

so
56:49=x:28
conver tto fraction
56/49=x/28
times both sides by 28
1568/49=x
32=x
answer is 32ft

Item 16 A scale drawing of a triangular sign has a scale factor of 1:8. Which statements are true? The ratio of the area of the

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The ratio of the area of the scale drawing to the area of the sign is equal to the square of the scale factor

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have a scale factor of 1:8

Therefore area of drawing = 1/2×base, b×height, h = 1/2×b×h

Hence, the area of the triangular sin will be given by 1/2×8×b×8×h

Area of triangular sign = 64 × 1/2×b×h

Hence the ratio of the area of the scale drawing to the area of the triangular sign is equal to the square of the scale factor.

Given y=-3/4x-2. What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular and has the point (-4,1)? Write answer in slope intercep

raketka [301]

Answer:

y=4/3+19/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When it asks for perpendicular it means your focusing on the slope.

Perpendicular means opposite of the current slope, so flip it and change the sign (-3/4 changes to 4/3). Next you will use the equation (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

y1=the y value given

x1=the x value given

m=your slope

(y-1)=4/3(x+4) Since the x point is minus a negative we get to change the sign to a positive. Next distribute the 4/3 to each term in the parenthesis.

y-1=4/3(x)+4/3(4)

y-1=4/3x+16/3 Now we add the one to both sides.

+1 +1 The one isn't in teh correct format to just add so first imagine it as 1/1. Now to get the bottom to have a 3 like in 16/3 we just multiply the top and bottom by 3.

$\frac{1}{1} x\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{3}$ Now we can add this to the 16/3
