<span>Since the triangles are similar, the side lengths are proportional. In other words, if a 50 foot building makes a 75 foot shadow, that is a ratio of 50/75, or 2/3 if you reduce it. This is the same ratio that describes Sarah's height, S, compared to her shadow, which the problem says is 6 feet long. So 2/3 = S / 6 You can cross multiply to find S... 12 = 3S..... so S = 4 feet tall... Sarah is 4 feet tall.</span>

A rectangle has a length of 14 yards less than 9 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 6183 square yards, find the le
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

 l=238\ yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Area of Rectangle A=6183

Equation of Length

 l=9w-14

Where

w=width\ of\ triangle

Generally the equation for Area of Rectangle is mathematically given by

 A=(9w-14)w

 A=9w^2-14w

 6183=9w^2-14w

 9w^2-14w-6183=0

 w=28

Therefore

 l=9(28)-14

 l=238\ yards

Organize your data and find the rate of change.
LuckyWell [14K]
A .E is 7 inches for the left arm
E is 8 1/2 inches for the left foot
the inputs look like the length of the arm (ie x) the outputs are the length of the foot 
<span>rate of change=<span>change in y change in x</span></span> use the data you gathered or this equation they give you  = 0.860 •  + 3.302


B. find the difference in y, then the difference in x, then divide (y over x) to get the slope
8-7/7 1/2-6 1/2 = 1/1 =1

C.you plug in any (x,y) point you used to find the slope
Solve for B
y = mx+b y = 1*x + b 7.5 = 1*8 + b b =
7.5 - 8 = -0.5
<span>y = x - 0.5</span>

Hope this helps
