Math word problem. What's the equation I use?

1 answer:

You would have to find the proportionality of the two. If his shadow is 3 feet long, and the tree's shadow is 9 that means it is proportioned by 3. So the height of the tree would be 15.

"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow

_____
One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.

Geometry question on finding x.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$x =63^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

$\text{ $\overline{MN} $ and $\overline{ML}$ are tangents .}$

We know that the tangents are perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact . And here OLMN is a quadrilateral. Also we know that , the angle sum property a triangle is 360° .

According to question :-

$\implies x + 117^o + 90^o +90^o = 360^o \\\\\implies x + 297^o = 360^o \\\\\implies x = 360^o - 297^o \\\\\implies x = 63^o$

Hence the value of x is 63° .

3 Simple Questions! Help! 99 Points! Brainliest!

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

1. ridescost+admission=total

if x=number of tickets and y is total and cost per ride is 1.25 then

1.25x+admission=y

if we solve

when x=25, y=43.75

1.25(25)+admission=43.75

31.25+admission=43.75

minus 31.25 from both sides

admission=12.50

y=1.25x+12.5

x is number of tickets and y is total cost

c. math, seriously, just read what is above option a (the one in the top of the answer)

if you're too lazy then:

ridescost+admission=total

if x=number of tickets and y is total and cost per ride is 1.25 then

1.25x+admission=y

if we solve

when x=25, y=43.75

(a)

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (4 - 9)/(-2 - 8) = -5/(-10) = 1/2

(b)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Using the first given point,

y - 9 = (1/2)(x - 8)

Using the second given point,

y - 4 = (1/2)(x + 2)

note they both simplify to

y = (1/2)x + 5

(c)

y = (1/2)x + 5
