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:

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

What answee is it?? :))))
Nataliya [291]

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is C

We can easily eliminate B and D since Ms. Macdonald isn't starting with 3 rabbits.

We can also eliminate choice A, because 5 to the 3rd power isn't 15.

5 to the 3rd power is 125, therefore the choice is C

Karissa begins to solve the equation (x – 14) + 11 = x – (x – 4). Her work is correct and is shown below. (x – 14) + 11 = x – (x
sdas [7]
Her work is incorrect because she accidentally changed -14 to -7 in the second step.
Working it out from the top we get
(x-14)+11=x-(x-4)
x-14+11=x-x+4
x-3=0+4
Final answer:
x=7
Hope I helped :)

PLEASE HELP ITS URGENT!!<br> Given: △ABC is isosceles; 1 ≅ 3<br> Prove: AB || CD
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

AB ║ CD. (Proved)

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram of the triangle.

It is given that Δ ACD is an isosceles triangle.

Therefore, AC = AD and ∠ ACD = ∠ ADC, ⇒ ∠ 3 = ∠ 4 .......... (1)

Again, given that ∠ 1 = ∠ 3 ........... (2)

Now, from equations (1) and (2) we can write, ∠ 1 = ∠ 4

Now, AB and CD are two straight lines and AD is the transverse line and hence, ∠ 1 and ∠ 4 are alternate angles that are equal.

Therefore, AB and CD are parallel straight lines and AB ║ CD. (Proved)
