Cindy is 72 inches long. Imagine it like a right triangle. Her shadow is the base, she is the side, and the distance between her head and the end of the shadow is the diagonal line connecting the two. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find how tall cindy is.

a²+b²=c²        a=21, the length of the shadow
                       b= ? cindy's height
                     c= 75, the distance from her head to the edge of the shadow
21²+ b²=75²
441 +b² = 5625
-441         -441
------         -------
  0             5184
b² = 5184
√b² =√5184
b= 72

hope it helps

F) Two numbers are in the ratio 5:4. If they differ by 12, what are the numbers?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

First number = 60 and another number = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let two numbers are 5x and 4x.

The two number are differ by 12. We need to find the numbers.

ATQ,

5x-4x = 12

x = 12

Now first number = 5x

= 5(12)

= 60

Other number = 4x

= 4(12)

= 48

Hence, the numbers are 60 and 48.

Distance between (-6, -2) and (0,-1)
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the distance between two points, you square the difference of the x-values and square the difference of the y-values, add them, and then you square root it!

First, we'll add our two x-values.

-6-0= -6

We square it, which means to multiply it by itself.

-6(-6)=36        (If you multiply an even number of negative numbers, your answer is positive. Since we have two negative numbers, we get positive 36)

Now, we do the same with the y-values.

-2-(-1)=-1           (two negatives make it a plus, as in minus minus 1 is plus one.)

We square it.

-1(-1)=1              

Now, we add these x and y value differences.

36+1=37

Now, we find the square root using a calculator.

√37≈6.08

Have a wonderful day!

Answer:

The triangular prism is a better deal because you get 204 in³ for the same price you would pay for 128 in³ with a trapezoidal prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The trapezoidal prism has volume 32*4=128 cubic inches. The triangular prism has volume 34*6=204 inches. Since the triangular prism is more voluminous, it is the better deal. Hope this helps!
