Set up a proportion:

6 feet over 11 feet long equals x feet over 33 feet long

6/11 = x/33

198 = 11x

x = 18

The height of the tree is 18 feet tall

The man's height in ratio to the shadow casted is 6:11. Each feet of the man is 1.83333333 feet to the shadow. Divide 33 feet of the shadow by 1.83333333 to obtain 18 feet of the height of the tree.

​Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each
ioda

Answer:

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.

y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.

Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.

This means that x + y = 2763

Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.

This means that x = y + 277

Replacing in the first equation

x + y = 2763

y + 277 + y = 2763

2y = 2486

y = \frac{2486}{2}

y = 1243

x = y + 277 = 1243 + 277 = 1520

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form: y-intercept of 2, x-intercept of 4
zvonat [6]

Answer:

\sf y=-\dfrac12x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept is when x = 0, so (0, 2)

x-intercept is when y = 0, so (4, 0)

\sf slope=\dfrac{change\:in\:y}{change\:in\:x}=\dfrac{0-2}{4-0}=-\dfrac12

Slope-intercept form of linear equation:  \sf y=mx+b

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

Given:

  • \sf m=-\dfrac12
  • b = 2

\sf \implies y=-\dfrac12x+2
