Answer:

  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is 20/30 = 2/3 the length of the object, so the 6-foot person's shadow will be 4 ft long. It will begin to emerge when the person is 4 feet from the tip of the building's shadow. That distance is ...

  20 ft - 4 ft = 16 ft

from the building.

Carl is making the kite shown (shorter sides measure 24 inches) with a perimeter of 120 inches
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

To solve for x the equation would be. (120 - 48) ÷ 2 = X

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because to follow pemdas you do the parenthesis first so you subtract both of the shorter sides. Next since there are two longer sides you divide by two to get the answer. Each longer side is equal to 36 inches.

Hope this helps

18. equivalent
16x5 does equal 10x8
19. equivalent
13-0 does equal 0
20. Not equivalent
12-2 doesn’t not equal 7-3
For all three of these equations you have to use PEMDAS (systems of equations) so first you solve everything that’s in parentheses, then any exponents, followed by multiplication,division,addition, and lastly subtraction. You MUST follow that order to get the correct answer.
