Area of Parallelogram = base x height
height = 4.5 cm
base = 4.5 cm x 2
height = 4.5 cm
base = 9 cm
9 cm x 4.5 cm = 40.50 cm^2
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope formula: y = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), we can determine that the slope is -1/2. There is only one answer with the slope of -1/2, but to check that it's right, we can plug in one of the points to see that y = -1/2x + 1 works.
SOLUTION
Let us use a simple diagram to interprete the question
In the diagram above, the dark stuff below represents the shadow and the rectangular bar represents the building. I have labelled the height of the building as h.
So we will use the right-angled triangle formed to find h
As we can see h represents the opposite side and 56.5 feet represents the adjacent side of the right-angle triangle. So we will use TOA

So we have

Hence the answer is 104.9 feet to the nearest tenth
