So, the man is 6 feet, but casts a 9 foot shadow. So, you divide 25 by 9, and then you would find it goes into it 2.8 times, so round and get 3 if you want,or keep it. And then 12, or round to 13.

Could you solve this using similar triangles?

6/x = 9/25
cross multiply
9x = 150

x = 16.66

Assuming it can be done this way, the tree should be about 17 feet tall

100 points + brainiest
Scrat [10]

Answer:

  • 35 grams of 11.43% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The end solution has same volume as initial volumes of mixture.

  • 10 + 25 = 35 g

The concentration of solution is calculated as below

  • 10*0.15 + 25*0.1 = 4 g
  • 4 / 35*100% = 11.43% (rounded)

What is the difference?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

<h2>D. \frac{x^{2}+3x-12 }{(x-5)(x+3)(x+7)} \\ or StartFraction x squared + 3 x minus 12 Over (x + 3) (x minus 5) (x + 7) EndFraction</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression \frac{x}{x^{2}-2x-15 } - \frac{4}{x^{2} + 2x - 35 }, the dfference is expressed as follows;

Step1: First we need to factorize the denominator of each function.

\frac{x}{x^{2}-2x-15 } - \frac{4}{x^{2} + 2x - 35 }\\= \frac{x}{x^{2}-5x+3x-15 } - \frac{4}{x^{2} + 7x-5x - 35 }\\= \frac{x}{x(x-5)+3(x-5) } - \frac{4}{x( x+ 7)x-5(x +7) }\\= \frac{x}{(x-5)(x+3) } - \frac{4}{(x-5)(x +7) }\\\\

Step 2: We will find the LCM of the resulting expression

=  \frac{x}{(x-5)(x+3) } - \frac{4}{(x-5)(x +7) }\\= \frac{x(x+7)-4(x+3)}{(x-5)(x+3)(x+7)} \\= \frac{x^{2}+7x-4x-12 }{(x-5)(x+3)(x+7)} \\= \frac{x^{2}+3x-12 }{(x-5)(x+3)(x+7)} \\

The final expression gives the difference

Someone plz help on # 15 (idk what to do) :/
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

2x-5= -20

move -5 to the other side

sign changes from -5 to 5

2x-5+5= -20+5

2x= -15

divide by 2 for both sides

2x/2= -15/2

cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2 and 2 and then becomes x

x= -15/2

State a true conclusion. 1) If two planes intersect, their intersection is a line. 2) Plane R and plane S intersect. Conclusion:
Vesna [10]

Two planes that intersect are simply called a plane to plane intersection. When they intersect, the intersection point is simply called a line.

Therefore, Plane R and Plane S form a line when they intersect.
