<h3>Answer:</h3>

3 ft

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The statue's height is 1.5 times the length of its shadow, so we expect the same relationship for the globe.

... 1.5 × 2 ft = 3 ft

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

As a practical matter, with the sun high enough in the sky to cast a shadow shorter than the object's height, it will be quite difficult to measure the length of the shadow of the point at the top of the globe. The shadow of other parts of the globe will interfere.

What is the equation of this parabola in vertex form
attashe74 [19]

first off, let's notice the parabola is a vertical one, therefore the squared variable is the x, and the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the coefficient of x² is positive.

let's notice the vertex, or U-turn, is at (-2, 2)

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \boxed{y=a(x- h)^2+ k}\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{-2}{ h},\stackrel{2}{ k}) \\\\\\ y=+1[x-(-2)]^2+2\implies y=(x+2)^2+2

What is 2 and negative three using integers​
Darina [25.2K]

If you mean "how to write the sum", the answer is

2+(-3)

The result of this sum is -1, because you start from 2 on the number line and take 3 steps to the left (negative integers mean going left, positive integers mean going right)

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for the line.
max2010maxim [7]
The answer is C, you can tell because the b=-1, so that eliminates d, then you know the slope is positive because of the direction it goes, so that eliminates a. Then if you look at the slope, it goes up 3 over 1, so that makes the answer C.
Hope this helps

The equation is "x=0", because the x intercepts at the x axis with no y-intercept.
