Answer:

36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the building,

Given,

Length of the building's shadow = 24 ft,

Height of the person = 6 feet,

Length of person's shadow = 4 feet.

Since, at the same time,

\frac{\text{Height of the building}}{\text{Length of building's shadow}}=\frac{\text{Height of the person}}{\text{Length of person's shadow}}

\frac{x}{24}=\frac{6}{4}

4x=144   ( By cross multiplication )

\implies x = 36

Hence, the height of the building is 36 ft.

The coordinates of prs are p(-3,2), R (2,5), s (0,0) which of the following could be p'r's' after a 270 degree rotation
Ksju [112]
Formula for 270 degree rotations:
(x,y) -----> (-y,x)

So....

p: (-3,2)----> (-2,-3)
r: (2,5)------>(-5,2)
s: (0,0) ------> (0,0)

Identify intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. g(x) = 4 - (x - 6)2 (5 points)
leva [86]

Answer:

g(x) is always decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

g(x) = 4 - (2x - 12)

g(x) = 4 - 2x + 12

Step 2: Combine like terms

g(x) = -2x + 16

Since the line is linear and has a negative slope, it will always decrease when you input either a positive or negative x value. The output <em>y </em>will go lower.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 5) and (6,4).
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The slope of the line is \frac{1}{-4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula change in y over change in x to find the slope:

\frac{5-4}{2-6}

Then we simplify:

\frac{1}{-4}

The slope of the line is \frac{1}{-4}.
