I will convert feet to inches.

4 feet, 6 inches = 54 inches

20 feet = 240 inches

5/x = 54/240

Let x = closest height of tree

54x = 5(240)

54x = 1,200

x = 1200/54

x = 22.2222222222

The tree is about 22 feet tall.

Answer:

22 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Mac = 5 feet

Height of shadow of Mac = 4 foot 6 inches = 4+\frac{6}{12}= 4.5 inches .

We are given that At the same time, a nearby tree casts a 20  foot shadow .

Let the height of the tree be x

ATQ

\frac{5}{4.5}=\frac{x}{20}

\frac{5}{4.5} \times 20=x

22.22=x

Hence the height of the tree is approximately 22 inches .

On a piece of paper, graph this system of inequalities. Then determine which region contains the solution to the system.
Mashutka [201]

we have

y\leq \frac{1}{4}x+3 ----> inequality 1

The solution of the inequality 1 is the shaded area below the solid red line

The solution is the region D and region C

y\geq-x+5 -----> inequality 2

The solution of the inequality 2 is the shaded area above the solid blue line

The solution is the region B and region C

The solution of the system is the common area

so

The solution is the region C

see the attached figure

therefore

the answer is the option C

Region C

Write the equation of a line in point slope form that is PARALLEL 5x + 2y = 1 that passes through the point (- 2, - 3) .
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

y = -5/2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the slope of the original equation

Subtract 5x from both sides

5x + 2y = 1

- 5x         - 5x

2y = -5x + 1

Divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = (-5x + 1)/2

y = -5/2x + 1/2

The slope of this equation is -5/2, so -5/2 has to be in our new parallel equation

y = -5/2x + b

Plug in the given x and y

-3 = -5/2(-2) + b

-3 = 10 + b

Subtract 10 from both sides

-3 = 10 + b

- 10  - 10

b = -13

This makes our equation: y = -5/2x - 13
