The High Roller, a giant ferris wheel in Las Vagas, casts a 242-foot shadow. A 6’3” tall man standing nearby casts a 2 3/4-foot

shadow. Find the height of the High Roller.

Answer:

550ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple napkin math, so you know what both shadows are you need to find how tall the High Roller is we will use X for this.

\frac{242ft}{6'3"}  x \frac{x}{2'9"}

Im not 100% I set it up right but essentially 242 divided by 2'9" and that equals 88

Take 88 and multiply that by 6'3" and you get your Height for the High Roller

What I did their was I scaled the humans height to that of the High Roller dividing it gives you a number you can use to scale the height of that human to how it should scale to the High Roller, which is why I took 88 and multiplied it by the human's height.

Hope this helped :)

How do you graph y equals 3 over 2x -4
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2 is the slope in y=mx+b format

b= y-intercept witch would be -4 sense it is subtracting not adding

m=slope witch is 3/2

x=x-axis

Solve each equation.<br> 1. 25 - 3x = 40<br> 2. } (x – 10) = -4
nordsb [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

For no 1

<em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>3</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em>Now </em><em>for </em><em>no. </em><em> </em><em>2</em>

<em>1</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em>

<em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em>

<em>Hope </em><em>it </em><em>will </em><em>help </em><em>:</em><em>)</em>

Match the circle equations in general form with their corresponding equations in standard form. Not all will be used. 
Xelga [282]
<span>The standard form of the equation of a circumference is given by the following expression:

</span>(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2} \\ \\ where \ (h, k) \ is \ the \ center \ of \ the \ circumference \ and \ r \ the \ radius
<span>
On the other hand, the general form is given as follows:

</span>x^{2}+y^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0 \\ \\ where: \\ D=-2h, \ E=-2k, \ F=h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2}<span>

In this way, we can order the mentioned equations as follows:

Equations in Standard Form:

</span>\bold{a)} \ (x-6)^{2}+(y-4)^{2}=56 \\ \bold{b)} \ (x-2)^{2} + (y+6)^{2}=60 \\ \bold{c)} \ (x+2)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=18 \\ \bold{d)} \ (x+1)^{2}+(y-6)^{2}=46

Equations in General Form:

\bold{1)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x+12y-20=0 \\ \bold{2)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}+6x-8y-10=0 \\ \bold{3)} \ 3x^{2}+3y^{2}+12x+18y-15=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 3, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+6y-5=0 \\ \\ \bold{4)} \ 5x^{2}+5y^{2}-10x+20y-30=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 5, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+4y-6=0 \\ \\ \bold{5)} \ 2x^{2}+2y^{2}-24x-16y-8=0 \\ \\ If \ we \ divide \ this \ equation \ by \ 2, \ the \ equation \ becomes: \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-12x-8y-4=0

\bold{6)} \ x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-12y

So let's match each equation:

\bold{From \ a)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(6,4),\ r=2\sqrt{14} \\ D=-12, \ E=-8 \\ F=-4

Then, its general form is:

x^{2}+y^{2}-12x-8y-4=0

<em><u>First. a) matches 5) </u></em>

\bold{From \ b)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(2,-6),\ r=2\sqrt{15} \\ D=-4, \ E=12 \\ F=-20

Then, its general form is:

x^{2}+y^{2}-4x+12y-20=0

<em><u>Second. b) matches 1) </u></em>

\bold{From \ c)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(-2,-3),\ r=3\sqrt{2} \\ D=4, \ E=6 \\ F=-5

Then, its general form is:

x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+6y-5=0

<em><u>Third. c) matches 3)</u></em>

\bold{From \ d)} \\ \\ (h,k)=(-1,6),\ r=\sqrt{46} \\ D=2, \ E=-12, \ F=-9

Then, its general form is: x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-12y-9=0

<em><u>Fourth. d) matches 6)</u></em>

In a circle with center C and radius 6, minor arc AB has a length of 4pi. What is the measure, in radians, of central angle ACB?
valina [46]
To solve this problem, we need to know that 
arc length = r &theta;  where &theta; is the central angle in radians.

We're given
r = 6 (units)
length of minor arc AB = 4pi
so we need to calculate the central angle, &theta;
Rearrange equation at the beginning,
&theta; = (arc length) / r = 4pi / 6 = 2pi /3

Answer: the central angle is 2pi/3 radians, or (2pi/3)*(180/pi) degrees = 120 degrees
