Answer:

4.5 m is the height of statue

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Kris is 1.5 meters tall and casts a shadow 4 meters long. At the same time, a statue casts a shadow 12 meters long.

We have the object, the shadow length and the line connecting the top of object to the tip of shadow forms a right triangle.

This triangle will be similar from one object to other.

For similar triangles ratios of sides will be equal

Using this we say that

\frac{1.5}{4} =\frac{x}{12}

Cross multiply to solve

4x=12(1.5)\\x=4.5 m

Here, Ratio of Height to Shadow = 1.5 / 4
Let, the height of Statue = x

It is = 1.5 / 4 = x / 12
x = 12/4 * 1.5
x = 3 * 1.5
x = 4.5

In short, Your Answer would be 4.5 meters

Hope this helps!

Veronika [31]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the areas of the 2 rooms is

(1 \frac{1}{4} )² + 6² ← change the mixed number to an improper fraction

= (\frac{5}{4} )² + 6²

= \frac{25}{16} + 36

= 1 \frac{9}{16} + 36

= 37 \frac{9}{16}

Miranda bought a brand-new cell phone. She noticed that the battery

The function model that represents the amount of battery left after a period  of time is y = 1 ₋ 10%x

Given, Miranda bought a new cell phone which is consuming battery at a rate of 5% for every half an hour.

We are required to establish a function model that depicts how much battery is remaining after a certain amount of time.

Let y represent the amount of battery left.

and x represent the number of hours.

Then 5% per half an hour = 5% × 2 = 10%

Now frame the function model:

The amount of battery left = 1 ₋ (rate percent at which battery is being consumed)(The number of hours left)

⇒ y = 1 ₋ 10%(x)

⇒ y = 1 ₋ 10%x

As a result, we obtained the function model for the battery's remaining capacity as y = 1 ₋ 10%x
