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 the quarterly sales levels among health care information systems companies are approximately normally distributed w
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The cutoff sales level is 10.7436 millions of dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 12, \sigma = 1.2

15th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.15. So X when Z = -1.047.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.047 = \frac{X - 12}{1.2}

X - 12 = -1.047*1.2

X = 10.7436

The cutoff sales level is 10.7436 millions of dollars

Solve this equation -3x+1+10x=x+4
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: x=\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

We have been given with the equation -3x+1+10x=x+4

We will collect the terms that are written in variable of x in one side and the constant values on the other side we will get

-3x+10x-x=4-1

After simplification we will get  6x=3

which implies x=1/2

When x from right hand side shift  will shift to left hand side it will change its sign and similarly when 1 from left hand side shift to right hand side change its sign.

Therefore, x=1/2
