Answer:

48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

AB/FD = BC/DE --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

AB/4 = 36/3

AB = 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

A gravel company sells gravel by the cubic yard and charges a flat delivery fee. The table shows the total cost C based on the a
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

<h2>$60.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for 0 cubic yards of gravel refers to the y-intercept of the function.

First, we find the constant ratio of change

r=\frac{284-124}{7-2}=\frac{160}{5}=32

The constant ratio of change is 32, that means the cost per cubic yard of gravel is $32.

Now, we just subtract this ratio twice to find the relations until we have x = 0.

124 -32= 92

So, for 1 cubic yard, the cost is $92.

92-32=60

For 0 cubic yards, the cost is $60, that's the y-intercept or the initial condition.

Therefore, the answer is $60.
