Answer:  11.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height of Fatim = 6 feet

At noon, he stands with the sun behind him casting a shadow. Also, Fatima is standing vertical to the ground such that a right triangle is formed.

Let the length of Fahim’s shadow be x.

By Pythagoras theorem , we have

13^2=x^2+6^2\\\\\Rightarrow169=x^2+36\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=169-36\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=133\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{133}=11.5325625947\approx11.5

Hence, the  length of Fahim’s shadow =11.5 feet

andriy [413]
If b is the base then the height h=b+6. As we have S=bh/2 then
36=b(b+6)/2;
b²+6b-72=0;
D/4=3²+72=81
b₁=-3-9=-12
b₂=-3+9=6.
The base is always positive so b=6, h=6+6=12.
Answer: base=6 ft, height=12 ft.

Suppose the equation of the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function is x = 3 and one of the x-intercepts is 8. What is the oth
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry divides the quadratic exactly in half. If one x-intercept is 8, then the other will be the same distance on the other side of it. 8 is 5 from 3 where the axis of symmetry is. So 3-5 = -2. -2 will be the other intercept.

A one-year-old car is now worth AED 12 000.
masha68 [24]

Answer:

AED 15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation is a reduction in the value or worth of an asset as a result of use.

Given that the car is depreciated by 20%, it means that the value of the car after the application of depreciation is the result of the original price of the car less the amount of depreciation which has been given as 20% of the original price.

Let the original price of the car (its price when it was new) be T then

T - 0.2T = 12,000

0.8T = 12,000

T = 12,000/0.8

= AED 15,000
