To solve this, use proportions. The height of the pole corresponds to the height of the building; the shadows are corresponding: 3.1/x =1/45.5
3.1 times 45.5=1x
141.05=x
The building is 141 meters tall
Answer:
-7/13
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 + 7x) - 6 * (-7 - x) = 36 Distribute the 6 into (-7 - x)
1 + 7x + 42 + 6x = 36 Combine like terms (1 + 42) & (7x + 6x)
43 + 13x = 36 Subtract 43 from both sides
13x = -7 Divide by 13
x = -7/13
(7^2)x = 1
x = 1/(7^2) = 7^(-2).
You obtain the value of x by dividing both sides by 7^2 and the inverse of 7^2 is 7^(-2).
