Answer:

The height of the lamp post is 15 feet ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder , the lamp post and the ground formed a right triangle, the length of the ladder is its hypotenuse (l), the height of the lamp post (h) and the horizontal distance on the ground between the base of the ladder and the base of the lamp post (d) are the legs of the triangle

By using Pythagoras Theorem ⇒ the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs

∵ l² = h² + d²

∵ The length of the ladder is 25 feet

∴ l = 25

∵ The ladder is placed 20 feet from the lamp post

- That means the distance between the base of the ladder and

the base of the lamp post on the ground

∴ d = 20

- Substitute the values of l and d in the Pythagoras formula

∵ (25)² = h² + (20)²

∴ 625 = h² + 400

- Subtract 400 from both sides

∴ 225 = h²

- Take √ for both sides

∴ 15 = h

∴ The height of the lamp post is 15 feet

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

-4z² + z²

let's assume you have z² and you're owing 4z², you'll pay the z² you have and you'll still owe 4

so that is -4

24+3x=3x+3(7-1) What does x equal? Please show me how to do it I don't want the answer. (Well I do but show me how to get it als

balandron [24]

24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)

Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)

24 + 3x = 3x + 18

Subtract 3x from each side: 24 = 18

Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.

That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."

Which of the following do you use to tell whether a relationship is proportional or not?

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct option to tell whether a relationship is proportional or not is;

$\dfrac{y}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is a relationship between two variables, 'x', and 'y' such that they have equivalent ratio, such that all values of variable 'y' are given by the product of the values of the variable 'x' and a constant, 'k'

Therefore, y = k · x, from which we have;

$\dfrac{y}{x} = k = Contant$

Therefore we can use $\dfrac{y}{x}$ to tell whether a relationship is proportional or not proportional.
