Josie's height = 5 ft 6 in. = 5 1/2 ft = 11/2 ft.
Josie's shadow = 6 ft.

Ratio of shadow to height = 6 / 11/2 = 12/11
So, It would be equal to ratio of building's shadow to building's height.

18/x = 12/11
x = 18*11 /12
x = 3*11 / 2
x = 16.5

In short, Your Answer would be 16.5 Feet

Hope this helps!

For what values of x is x^2 + 2x = 24 true?
maw [93]

Answer:

x = -6, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Factor</u>

<em>Subtract 24 from both sides</em>

x^2 + 2x- 24 = 24 - 24

x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0

<em>Make two different x's</em>

x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0

x^2 + 6x - 4x - 24 = 0

<em>Make two different parenthesis</em>

x^2 + 6x - 4x - 24 = 0

(x + 6)(x - 4) = 0

<em>Step 2:  Solve for x in both equations</em>

x + 6 = 0

x + 6 - 6 = 0- 6

x = -6

x - 4 = 0

x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4

x = 4

Answer:  x = -6, x = 4
