To get a close estimate, we can round 49 up to 50 and 311 down to 300, obtaining an estimate of 50/300 = 1/6, or 0.1666... as a repeating decimal. That decimal approximation is a little less than one hundredth away from the actual decimal approximation of ≈ 0.1576
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation: slope = "rise over run" = 1.5/18 = 3/36 = 1/12 for the 1st section to the landing
slope is the change in height, the vertical change, divided by the change in horizontal distance
2nd section has slope 1/18 and covers 9 feet. That means it rises 1/2 foot
slope = 1/18 = (1/2)/9
the door is 2 feet higher than the ground level, 1.5 + .5 = 2 feet change vertically
X/6.2=-2.1
multiply both sides by 6.2
x=-13.02
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the easier approaches to graphing a linear equation such as this one is to solve it for y, which gives us both the slope of the line and the y-intercept.
x-3y=-6 → -3y = -x - 6, or 3y = x + 6.
Dividing both sides by 3, we get y = (1/3)x + 2.
So the slope of this line is 1/3 and the y-intercept is 2.
Plot a dot at (0, 2). This is the y-intercept. Now move your pencil point from that dot 3 spaces to the right and then 1 space up. Draw a line thru these two dots. End.
Alternatively, you could use the intercept method. We have already found that the y-intercept is (0, 2). To find the x-intercept, let y = 0. Then x = -6, and the x-intercept is (-6, 0).
Plot both (0, 2) and (-6, 0) and draw a line thru these points. Same graph.
The ratio of height : shadow =44/1313
Therefore height of the tree,x=3434*(44/1313)
=115.08 ft
If you meant 13 and 34 as the length of shadows respectively, then also x=115.08 ft
