Set u a ratio of height over shadow:

Lance = 5 feet tall / 8 foot shadow

Tree = X feet tall / 32 foot shadow.

Set the ratios equal to each other and solve for X:

5/8 = x/32

Cross multiply:

8x = 160

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 160/8

x = 20

The tree is 20 feet tall.

Answer: options A, B and C are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Ray's daily pay,P in dollars is given by the function, p(h) = 10h with h representing the number of hours that he worked on that day. If he worked c hours on Thursday and this is 3 hours more than he worked on Friday, then the following statement is true. We substitute c and c-3 for Thursday and Friday into the given function, p(h) = 10h

A) 10c -3 represents Ray's pay in dollars on Friday.

B) 10c represents Ray's pay in dollars on Thursday.

C) p(c ) - p(c-3) represents how much more Ray's pay was on Thursday than on Friday

bixtya [17]

Answer:

x= 1

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 9y = -28

-4x = y

8x + 9(-4x) = -28

8x - 36x = -28

-28x = - 28

x = 1

y = -4(1) = -4

PLEASE HELP! BRAINLIEST!

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the length of RT by using the Pythagorean theorem

sin theta = opposite side/ hypotenuse

sin 60 = 2 sqrt(3)/ RT

Multiply each side by RT

RT sin 60 = 2 sqrt(3)

Divide by sin 60

RT = 2 sqrt(3)/ sin 60

RT = 4

Then

tan theta = opposite side/ adjacent side

tan 45 = x/RT

tan 45 = x/4

4 tan 45 = x

4 = x
