The problem presented above is an example in which we can use the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio between the heights of Mei and the statue should be the same to the ratio of their shadows. Letting x be the height of the statue. 
                                  5 ft/ x ft = 3 ft / 10.5 ft
The value of x from the equation above is 17.5 ft.

Let f(x) represent a function.
STatiana [176]

Answer:

For f(x+\frac{5}{4}), f(x) is translated \frac{5}{4} units left.

For f(x)-\frac{5}{4}, f(x) is translated \frac{5}{4} units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation of f(x)\rightarrow f(x+C) means that the graph shift to left by C units if C is positive number and shifts to right by C units if C is a negative number.

The transformation of f(x)\rightarrow f(x)+C means that the graph shifts up by C units if C is positive number and shifts down by C units if C is a negative number.

Here, in the transformation of f(x)\rightarrow f(x+\frac{5}{4}),C = \frac{5}{4}>0, so, the function translates left by \frac{5}{4} units.

Similarly, in the transformation of f(x)\rightarrow f(x)-\frac{5}{4},C = -\frac{5}{4}, so, the function translates down by \frac{5}{4} units.

Plz help!!!! Number 23
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

 (0 + m)/2, (0 + n)/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The  x coordinate of the  midpoint must be halfway  between the x coordinates of  A and B, and the y coordinate must be  found in the same way.

So the midpoint is  (0 + m)/2, (0 + n)/2.

Find the volume of the right triangular prism shown:
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

960cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the base of the triangle (use phytagoras theorem)

c²= a²+b²

20²= 16²+b²

400=256+b²

b²=400-256

b²= 144

b=

\sqrt{144}

base= 12

Volume: (1/2×b×h)×l

= (1/2×12×16)×10

=(6×16)×10

=96×10

=960cm³
