Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A billboard is 27 feet high and casts a 36-foot shadow at noon.

Height of billboard = 27 feet

Height of shadow of billboard = 36 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{27}{36}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75

A fir tree next to the billboard casts a 48-foot shadow.

Height of shadow of fir tree  = 48 foot

\texttt{Height of shadow of fir tree, H = }\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}\times 48

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Given

mean\left ( \mu \right )=70

Standard deviation \left ( \sigma \right )=7

For Top 25%

P\left ( Z

and Z value for 75 % is 0.6744

Thus score which separates the Top 25% of students is

=\mu +\sigma \cdot Z

=70+7\cdot 0.6744=74.7208

Simplify.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

a. -3.78x-0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify, combine like terms. Because you're just adding them you don't have to change any signs. Add/subtract the terms with an x, that will give you your first number, then add/subtract the terms without an x to get your second number.

Is it possible to make a quadrilateral with any four dots as corners?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Yes it is possible, given with 4 dots, lets say were set anywhere within a page or anywhere upon a circumference of a circle even. We can draw 4 straight lines to meet each corner and call this a quadrilateral.

Step-by-step explanation:

Squares, Rectangles and Rhombuses are all Parallelograms and squares and rectangles are regular quadrilaterals!

So any other 4 sided shape that is quadrilateral could be made.

The picture below shows all branches of quadrilaterals.
