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...

Zina [86]

Answer: 121.52 square feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The room has the shape of a rectangle and its dimensions are 12.4 feet long and 9.8 feet wide. This means that dimension of the carpet is also 12.4 feet long and 9.8 feet wide. To replace the rectangular carpet with tiles, the area of the tiles must be equal to the area of the carpet. The area of the carpet is determined by length × width.

Length of the room or carpet = 12.4 feets

Width of the room or carpet = 9.8 feets

The number of square feets of tiles that Wes will need

=12.4 ×9.8 = 121.52 square feets
