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.

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (3, −2) and has a slope of 23 ?
Oksanka [162]
Use the point slope formula. then, substitute the values inside the formula.

x1 =3
y1= -2
m = 23

y -y1 = m ( x - x1)

y - (-2) = 23 (x - 3)

y + 2 = 23 ( x - 3)

The average of three numbers is 45. two of the numbers are equal. the last number is 89. what are the two missing numbers?
trasher [3.6K]
The average of a set of data is equal to the sum of the values divided by the number of data present. So, if we have three numbers, the average would be:

let x, y and z represent the three numbers
average = x + y + z / 3 = 45

Two number are equal in value, so let x = y. Substituting the value to the expression of average,

45 = x + x + z / 3
45 = 2x + z / 3

It said that the last number is 89 so z is equal to 89.

45 = 2x + 89 / 3
135 = 2x + 89
46 = 2x
x = 23

Therefore, the two numbers are both 23.
