y = 7/6.....................
You order 4 pizzas for a party. At the end of the party only half of a pizza is left. How much pizza did the guests eat? That's one problem can't think of a 2nd one.
Answer: The height of the building is 50.75 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio between the height of the object and the casted shadow must be equal for all the objects, as the angle at which the source if light impacts them is the same.
For the person, we know that it is 5.8ft tall, and the shadow is 3.2ft long.
The ratio will be: 5.8ft/3.2ft = 1.8125
Now, if H is the height of the building, and the shadow that the building casts is 28ft, we must have:
H/28ft = 1.8125
Now we can solve this for H.
H = 1.8125*28ft = 50.75 ft
Then the height of the building is 50.75 feet.
What does x equal? In order to find the relationship between x and y we need to know both values at a given instance. For example, if x = 10 while y = 20/3, then we know that you = 20x/30 or 2x/3.
