Answer:

b. 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a direct proportion relationship between the length of the object/person and the shadow cast by it.

Let the length of the object/person be L an that of the shadow be B

L ∝ B

L = KB

where K is the constant of proportionality.

Where L = 1.75 m, B = 2.25 m

1.75 = 2.25B

B = 175/225 = 7/9

Therefore, L = (7/9)B

If at the same time, a statue casts a shadow 9 m long, then B = 9 m

L = (7/9) × 9

L = 7 m

The height of the statue is 7 m.

1.75 divided by 2.25 = 0.77777777...
0.77777777.. times by 9 = 7

10.68 each for the 2 same length sides. The total of the 5 sides is 45.56 less the 3 sides which total 24.2 leaves 21.36 remaining for the 2 equal length sides. So divide 21.36 by 2 = 10.68
(45.56 - 24.2)/2 = 10.68

A ball is shot into the air using a brand new super-high-tech robotic arm to help baseball players practice catch fly balls.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

69 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+5

where

h(t) is the height of the ball

t is the time in seconds

we know that the given equation is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is the maximum

so

the y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum height of the ball

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

The equation in vertex form is equal to

y=(x-h)^{2}+k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+5

h(t)-5=-16t^{2}+64t

h(t)-5=-16(t^{2}-4t)

h(t)-5-64=-16(t^{2}-4t+4)

h(t)-69=-16(t^{2}-4t+4)

h(t)-69=-16(t-2)^{2}

h(t)=-16(t-2)^{2}+69

the vertex is the point (2,69)

therefore

The maximum height is 69 ft
