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

What is an equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line y=7x
laila [671]

Answer:

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line y=7x is y=7x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a line y=7x

To Find:

Equation of line passing through ( 2, 2) and is parellel to the line y=7x

Solution:

y=7x     ...........Given

Comparing with,

y=mx

Where m =slope

We get

Slope = m = 7

We know that parallel lines have Equal slopes.

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (2 , 2) will also have the slope = m = 7.

Now the equation of line in slope point form given by

(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})

Substituting the points and so we will get the required equation of the line,

(y-2)=7(x-2)=7x-14\\\\y=7x-12......Equation\ of\ line

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line y=7x is y=7x-12

Suppose you are starting your own company selling chocolate covered strawberries. You decide to sell the milk chocolate covered
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x_m and x_w be the production level of milk and white chocolate-covered strawberries respectively. According to the given data, we know the total profit will be

P(x_m,x_w)=$2.25x_m+$2.50x_w

The restrictions can be written as

x_m+x_w \leq  800

x_w\leq x_m/2

x_w\leq 200

All the restrictions can be plotted in the same graph to find the feasible region where all of them are met. The graph is shown in the image below

The optimal solution will be the level of production such that

* All restrictions are met

* The total profit is maximum

The optimal level of production can be found in (at least) one of the vertices of the feasible region. We'll try each one as follows

P(0,0)=0

P(400,200)=$2.25 (400)+$2.50 (200) = $1400

P(600,200)=$2.25 (600)+$2.50 (200) = $1850

P(800,0)=$2.25 (800)+$2.50 (0) = $1800

We must produce 600 milk chocolate-covered strawberries and 200 white chocolate-covered strawberries to have a maximum profit of $1850/month

Because the triangle is isosceles, angle P and angle R are the same. Thus, your work would be:

6x+4 + 2(98-4x) = 180. You then simplify this to 6x+4 + 196 - 8x = 180. Combine like terms, you get - 2x = - 20. x = 10.

Plug x = 10 back into the equation 98 - 4x to get 98 - 4(10) which becomes 98 - 40 = 58. 

Angle P should be equal to 58 degrees. 

To check your work add up the angles to see if they equal 180:

58 + 58 + 6(10) + 4 = 116 + 64 = 180.
