This is a proportion problem. Let the monument me x feet tall.
40/x=5/6
Cross multiply:
240=5x
x=48 ft.
So the monument is 48 ft tall,

Answer:

48\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Adam is 6 feet tall and casts a 5-foot shadow

A monument casts a 40-foot shadow

so

by proportion

Find how tall is the monument

Let

x------> the height of the monument

\frac{6}{5}=\frac{x}{40}\\ \\ x=40*6/5\\\\x=48\ ft

Write the set of real numbers in interval notation. {x | x ≥ −8}
Vikentia [17]
The answer is: [-8, \infty)

Which can be written as: [-8, infinity) 

This is the interval from -8 to infinity. So -8 is our left most point on the number line and infinity being our right most. There is no boundary on the right side.

Note how the left side has a square bracket and the right side has a curved parenthesis. This isn't a typo. The square bracket tells the reader "include the endpoint -8 as part of the solution set". The parenthesis tells the reader "do NOT include the endpoint infinity as part of the solution set". 

Rule: infinity and negative infinity is always paired with a parenthesis because these aren't numbers. It's impossible to reach infinity, therefore it's impossible to include it in the set of values. If you could include it, then that implies you ran out of numbers.

If (angle)1 = 7x and (angle)4 = 3x + 20, what is the value of x?
Semenov [28]
The value of x is 5. Angle one and four are vertical. You can do this by writing 7x = 3x + 20. Isolate the variable by moving 3x to the other side. If you do this, 3x becomes negative, and you end up with 7x-3x = 20 --> 4x = 20.
x=5.
