The answer is 24. If you cross multiply witht he eight over top of the twenty-four, and the x (unknown length of shadow) over seventy-two and cross multiply (8 times 72, x times 24) then get 576 = 24x and divide twenty four on both sides, then that should give you the correct answer.
Answer:
Since U is the midpoint of XY,
Answer:
180
Step-by-step explanation:
I need to draw a picture to explain.
I'll do 3 and 4, and you can do 5 and 6 on your own!
For 3, we know that a perpendicular line's slope is -1/the other one, so the form is y=x/5+b (b being any number). Plugging -5 and -3 in, we get -3=-1+b. Adding 1 to both sides, we get -2=b and our equation being y=x/5-2 (since our standard form is y=mx+b with y and x remaining variables)
For 4, parallel means the same slope, so we have y=-2x/5+b. Plugging (2,4) in, we get 4=-4/5+b. Adding 4/5 to both sides, we get 4+4/5=b and our equation being y=-2x/5+4+4/5
