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

Please help with #35 I don’t get it and I’m really stressed
skad [1K]

Don't let it get to ya. If they didn't think you're capable of answering this question, they wouldn't ask you. So they know your abilities better than you do.

We don't know the unknown number, so in order to discuss it, we have to give it some kind of a name. We could call it 'x', 'y', 'Ana, 'Q', or 'Ralph'. Let's call it 't'.

The unknown number . . . . . t

Five times the number . . . . . 5t

Nine less than five times the number . . . . . 5t - 9 . Hold on to this quantity.

Twice the number . . . . . 2t .

Three more than twice the number . . . . . 2t + 3. Hold on to this quantity too.

The question says that these two quantities are equal. So the equation is

5t - 9 = 2t + 3 . This is the equation in both choices 'c' and 'd' . I guess we'll have to solve it to find out which choice is the correct one.

The equation is . . . . . 5t - 9 = 2t + 3

Add 9 to each side . . . . . 5t = 2t + 12

Subtract 2t from each side . . . 3t = 12

Divide each side by 3 . . . . . t = 4 .

It looks like choice-d is the winner.
