Answer:

The length of the shadow the telephone booth is <u>12 ft</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An adult elephant that is 10 ft tall casts a shadow that is 15 ft long.

The length of the telephone booth is 8 ft.

Now, to find the length of the shadow the telephone booth casts.

Let the length of the shadow the telephone booth be x.

As given, an adult elephant that is 10 ft tall casts a shadow that is 15 ft long.

So, 10 ft is equivalent to 15 ft.

Thus, 8 ft is equivalent to x.

Now, to get the length of the shadow of the booth we get cross multiplication method:

\frac{10}{15} =\frac{8}{x}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

10x=120

<em>Dividing both sides by 10 we get:</em>

x=12.

Therefore, the length of the shadow the telephone booth is 12 ft.

Answer:

\boxed{Area = 32.5 mm^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle = \frac{1}{2} (Base)(Height)

Where base = 13 mm, Height = 5 mm

Area = 1/2 (13)(5)

=> Area = 1/2 (65)

=> Area = 32.5 mm^2

can a denominator be negative in literal equation? or should it be converted to positive, and change the numerator signs pls hel
Elis [28]

I don't think it really matters if the denominator is negative in a literal equation. Think about a simpler example with numbers. Does it matter whether a fraction is -1/2 or 1/-2? No, they are both the same. Therefore, I would say that the denominator of a literal equation can be negative.

Good luck with your exams!
