Make a ratio: 
<span>
Make sure shadow is in same location on both fractions (either numerator or denominator) </span>

x/90=5/8 

Cross multiply: 

8x=90x5 
8x=450 
<span>
x=56.25 feet </span>

Therefore, the approximate height of the building to the nearest foot would be 56.25 feet.
<span>
That makes sense, too, because the woman's shadow is taller than she is, but is less than double her height. </span>The building shadow is taller than the building, but it's less than double the height of the building.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Suppose that a is a one-dimensional array of ints with a length of at least 2. Which of the following code fragments successfull
elixir [45]

Answer:

E)II and III only

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be seen with examples. Say a[0]=1 and and a[1]=2.

for I , the first line of code would be:

a[0]=a[1];

thus, we would get a new value for a[0]=2.

The second line of code

a[1]=a[0]; uses the new value of a[0], so we would get a[1]=2.

The end result is a[0]=2, and a[1]=2 which doesn't exchange the values of the first two elements.

For II the first line of code

int t= a[0]; saves the original value of a[0] to t, so we get t=1.

the second line of code

a[0]=a[1]; changes the value of a[0]  to that of a[1]. Thus, in our example a[0]=2.

the final line

a[1]=t; changes the value of a[1] to the original value of a[0], giving us a[1]=1 and a[0]=2, what we were looking for.

For III

the first line of code

a[0]=a[0]-a[1];

gives us

a[0]=1-2

the secon line

a[1]=a[1]+a[0];

takes the new value of a[0] and replaces it in the expression

a[1]= 2+(1-2)=1

the last line

a[0]=a[1]-a[0];

takes the new value of a[0] and a[1] and replaces the in the expression

a[0]=1-(1-2)=1-1+2=2

which exchanges the values needed.

So we can see that only II and III do what we require, giving us E as the answer.
