Answer:
-22/7 or -3.142857
Step-by-step explanation:
I can't type the explanation out hence the picture.
The answer is 48 feet (D).
Explanation:
To solve this, you must think of the monument and its shadow and Adam and his shadow as a triangle, the person/object being the vertical leg, the shadows being the horizontal leg, and a line connecting them being the hypotenuse. Also, we can assume that these triangles are similar. First, we can set the scale to be 40/5 (the two shadows set a scale because the triangles are similar). Then, we can put x/6 (the actual things are similar, and the scale was established to be building/measurement). Next, we can set the two fractions equal to each other (40/5 = x/6) and solve. We can cross multiply to get 5x = 40 * 6. That goes to 5x = 240. Finally, we can divide by five on each side to get x = 48 feet (D).
First find the area of the Room 30 x 30 = 900
We know each triangle can take up 112.5 sq ft
divide these numbers to find how many will be needed.
Then you can add the 112.5 four times to find how much it will cover. Subtract the 900 with that number and that will be what is left.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
y = 23
<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
Add the numbers:
18 + 5 - y
= 23 - y
Rearrange terms:
y = 23
