You are going to have to compare the height and shadow of Julia to the height and shadow of the flagpole.
Julia is 5 feet tall with a shadow of 7 feet.
The flagpole is "x" feet tall with a shadow of 35 feet (to get 35, I added 28 feet and 7 feet.)
So, you do 5/7 = x/35
You cross multiply and get 175 = 7x
Then, divide by 7 and you get 25.
25 feet is the height of the flagpole, so it would be option "D".

Answer:

C. 1/3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Plugging in the values for x, we get:

y = 1/3(0) + 5 = 5

y = 1/3(6) + 5 = 7

y = 1/3(12) + 5 = 9

y = 1/3(15) + 5 = 10

I almost broke my neck trying to read this problem. :(

Answer:

V =96 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V = 1/3 pi r^2 h

Where r is the radius and h is the height

V = 1/3 pi (6)^2 *8

V = 1/3 pi (36)8

V =96 pi

Nikolay [14]
The option c is the answer because
2p=p (1.07)^x
2=1.07^x
Solve for x
X=log(2)÷log(1.07)
x=10 years the amount will be doubled after 10 years
But your option says the investment will (more) than double with (12) years
So it's correct
