If you need part A, draw a person and label them 6 feet tall and a shadow coming off of him that is five feet long and draw a basketball hoop that and label it X feet tall and draw a shadow coming from it that is 8 feet long. To solve, you use proportions 6/5=X/8 solving this you get X=9.6 feet which is the height of the rim. Therefore, the rim does not meet regulation height, since the required height (10 feet) is greater than the actual height (9.6 feet).
Answer:
I have attached a picture of me solving the equation.
Now you must be wondering how I got the answer, well first simplify the expression in y = mx + b. Then graph it on demos. Do the same thing for the other expression. Pick any point that lies on the line. That is your solution to the equation.
The green line is the expression of 3x - 4y = 11. I simplify the equation in y = mx + b giving me y = 3/4x - 11/4.
The orange line is the expression of 3x + 2y = 2. I simplify the equation in y = mx + b giving me y = -3/2x + 1.
Hope this helps, thank you !!
Rise over run is 7 over 2 so 7/2 is the slope
<span>RT, i.e. is S the midpoint of RT? If it does, then RS = ST; RT = RS + ST; RT = 2 * RS; RT = 5 1/4</span>
