Answer:
x = 3??
Step-by-step explanation:
What we know is that a 6 foot tall tent casts a 15 foot shadow. Lets represent that given this way: 6 = 15
So, the unknown (y), or what we want to know, is how tall the cardboard box if it has a 6 foot long shadow (noticeably the same height as the tent):
y = 6
6 = 15
y = 6
(6 x 6) / 15 = y
36 / 15 = y
2.4 = y
The height of the cardboard box is 2.4 feet.
Step 2: She did not simplify under the square root correctly
under the square root:
(-6)^2 =36
and -4(5)(-8) =160
therefore under the square root it needs to be square root of 36+160 which is square root of 196.
That answer is 14 when square rooted
Answer:
2^4 or 16
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a^b / a^c = a^(b-c)
2^9 / 2^5
2^(9-5)
2^4 or 16
