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

Which graph shows that Cindy reads about 3/4 of the time while riding in the car?
wolverine [178]

The graph that shows a unit rate of 3/4, which is the time Cindy reads while riding in the car is the graph attached below.

<h3>What is Unit Rate?</h3>

Unit rate can be described as a constant or exactly how much of one quantity is per 1 unit of another quantity.

Unite rate (k) = x/y.

In the graph attached below, when x (hours driving) = 3, y (hours reading) = 4.

Therefore, unit rate = 3/4. We can then conclude that the graph that shows that Cindy reads 3/4 of the time she rides in a car is the graph attached below.

How do u do this.I need major help on it
Tpy6a [65]
Look for what 'y' is when t = 1 and t = 2. Go to the graph, look at 1 on the bottom axis and go up till you find the point, then go all the way to the left to see what the y-value is, in this case it should be 1200. If you do the same with t = 2, you will get 2400. So our two ordered pairs are:

(1, 1200), (2, 2400)

We can find the slope of these two points by plugging them into the slope formula:

\sf m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

For points in the form of (x1, y1), (x2, y2). Plug in what we know:

\sf m=\dfrac{2400-1200}{2-1}

Subtract:

\sf m=\dfrac{1200}{1}

Divide:

\sf m=1200

This is the slope, so we can write the equation:

\boxed{\sf y=1200t}

Need help vrtfv fvvfgsf

Answer:

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

c = 10

a = 6

b = ?

Substitute into the formula

10^2 = 6^2 + b^2      

100 = 36 + b^2            Subtract 36 from both sides

100 - 36 = b^2             Combine

64 = b^2                      Take the square root of both sides.

√64 = √b^2

b = 8
