A flagpole is 15 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 20 feet long. What is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top o

Since the flagpole makes a 90 degree angle to the ground, the height is 15 feet tall and the length of the triangle is 20 feet long. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to find out “c”, but since this is a “3,4,5” triangle, you multiply 5 by 5 to get 25, which is the hypotenuse. Therefore, 25 feet is the answer. •hope this helps!•

How much is one can of peaches if the price for three is 2.99?
BabaBlast [244]
If the price for three of them is $2.99, then you divide that by three to find the price for one can. This would equal .9966666667, which could probably be rounded to 99 cents or just a dollar per can. Hope that helps.

Suppose the supply function for a certain item is given by S(q)= (q+6)2 and the demand funtion is given by D(q)= (1000)/(q+6).
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The equilibrium point is where; Quantity supplied = 100 and Quantity demanded = 100

Step-by-step explanation: The equilibrium point on a demand and supply graph is the point at which demand equals supply. Better put, it is the point where the demand curve intersects the supply curve.

The supply function is given as

S(q) = (q + 6)^2

The demand function is given as

D(q) = 1000/(q + 6)

The equilibrium point therefore would be derived as

(q + 6)^2 = 1000/(q + 6)

Cross multiply and you have

(q + 6)^2 x (q + 6) = 1000

(q + 6 )^3 = 1000

Add the cube root sign to both sides of the equation

q + 6 = 10

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

q = 4

Therefore when q = 4, supply would be

S(q) = (4 + 6)^2

S(q) = 10^2

S(q) = 100

Also when q = 4, demand would be

D(q) = 1000/(4 + 6)

D(q) = 1000/10

D(q) = 100

Hence at the point of equilibrium the quantity demanded and quantity supplied would be 100 units.
