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

Classify the following triangle
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

A. Right Triangle

D. Isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, since it has a square at the bottom of the triangle, it means it's a right triangle, because it has a 90 degree angle.

It is also an isosceles triangle, because two of the sides are of equal length.

Hope this helped!

Please help logarithms!

Given:

\log_34\approx 1.262

\log_37\approx 1.771

To find:

The value of \log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right).

Solution:

We have,

\log_34\approx 1.262

\log_37\approx 1.771

Using properties of log, we get

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-\log_349      \left[\because \log_a\dfrac{m}{n}=\log_am-\log_an\right]

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-\log_37^2      

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-2\log_37          [\log x^n=n\log x]

Substitute \log_34\approx 1.262 and \log_37\approx 1.771.

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=1.262-2(1.771)

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=1.262-3.542

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=-2.28

Therefore, the value of \log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right) is -2.28.

Make r the subject of x= e + r/d
neonofarm [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

X=e+r/d

swap both sides

e+r/d=x

subtract e from both sides

e-e+r/d=x-e

r/d=x-e

multiply d to both sides

d×r/d=x-e×d

r=x-e×d

PLEASE HELP MEEEEeeee
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

D. 2^7

Step-by-step explanation:

2^3 x 2^4 would equal 128. So, if you do the math for all of them:

A isn't correct because it equals 16.

B isn't correct because it equals 4096.

C isn't correct because it equals 16384.

D is correct because 2^7 is 128.

Hope this helped!
