The answer is 48 feet (D).
Explanation:
To solve this, you must think of the monument and its shadow and Adam and his shadow as a triangle, the person/object being the vertical leg, the shadows being the horizontal leg, and a line connecting them being the hypotenuse. Also, we can assume that these triangles are similar. First, we can set the scale to be 40/5 (the two shadows set a scale because the triangles are similar). Then, we can put x/6 (the actual things are similar, and the scale was established to be building/measurement). Next, we can set the two fractions equal to each other (40/5 = x/6) and solve. We can cross multiply to get 5x = 40 * 6. That goes to 5x = 240. Finally, we can divide by five on each side to get x = 48 feet (D).

Answer:
23+5y=23x +5
5y=23x-18
y=23/5x - 18/5
<u>y--7=</u>23/5
x-6
5y+35=23x-138
5y=23x-203
y=23/5x -203/5
Step-by-step explanation:
SOLUTION:
Case: Trigonometry
Method:
Let the distance between the Sun and the Earth be 'z'
The relationship between x, y and z is:
Final answer:
In sentence,
The distance between the Sun and the Earth is the product of the distance between the Earth and the moon and the cotangent of the angle x formed using the lines from the Earth and the moon.
Hello!
Elimination is where you add or subtract two equations to get rid of a variable
(5x + 5y = -5) + (5x - 5y = 25)
This gives us 10x = 20
Divide 10 from both sides
x = 2
We can put x in to one of the original equations to get y
5(2) + 5y = -5
Combine like terms
10 + 5y = -5
Subtract 10 from both sides
5y = -15
divide both sides by 5
y = -3
The answer to the first one is (2, -3)
For the second one we can subtract the equations
(2x - 3y = 0) - 2x + y = 8
This gives us 4y = 8
Divide by 4 on both sides
y = 2
We can put y into one of the original equations to get x
2x + 2 = 8
subtact 2 from both sides
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2
x = 3
The answer to the second one is (3,2)
Hope this helps!
