3 4/5 because when you make the denominators equal by multiplying 1/4 by 5 on both sides and 4/5 by 4 and both sides you will get 5/20 and 16/20
Answer:
The vertices are (-16,-5) and (14,-5)
The foci are (-26,-5) and (24,-5)
I would solve this using tangents. Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.
Now write the tangent ratios:

Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent

Plug in what we know:



You have to divide the 14 pieces amongst 4 friends: 14/4. This can be simplified into a fraction. Since both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2, you can simplify the fraction to 7/2 and make it into a mixed number 3 1/2, or decimal form 3.5. Each friend got three and a half pieces of banana bread.
The common ratio is the multiplicity of -3
hope this helps
