distance = 500 feet
Since Δ VWX and Δ YZX are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
= 
completing the required values gives
= 
( cross- multiply )
60l = 30 × 100 = 3000 ( divide both sides by 60 )
l = 500
distance across the swamp is 500 feet
Y= mx+b (slope intercept form)
m= the slope (in this case 8)
b= the y-intercept (-3)
the answer: y=8x-3
Answer:
69mm:114 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
30 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Interesting question.
- 1 cubit = 18 inches
- 20 cubits = x
- 1/20 = 18/x Cross multiply
- x = 20 * 18
- x = 360 inches.
The maximum height is 360 inches.
- 1 foot = 12 inches
- x feet = 360 inches Cross multiply
- 12x = 360 * 1
- 12x/12 = 360/12
- x = 30
The maximum height reached was 30 feet.
To solve for variable h flip the equation. You get: 12gh=f. After, divide both sides by 12 to get your answer: h=f/12g
