Answer:

C. 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lamp post has a shadow that's twice as long as it'a actual height. The tree's shadow is 24 feet long, so it would be 24/2, which is 12 feet.

Which ordered pairs could be points on a line parallel to the line that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2)? Check all that apply. (–2,
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(–1, 1) and (–6, –1)

(1, 0) and (6, 2)

(3, 0) and (8, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line having points (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) is given by (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Two lines with slope m1 and m2 are parallel if there slopes are equal i.e m1 = m2.

Slope of line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2)

m = (2-4)/(-2-3) = -2/-5 = 2/5

__________________________________________

To find if other pair of lines lie on line parallel to  line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2), we need to find slope for other pair of points , if those pairs have slopes as 2/5 then its clear that they lie on line parallel to  line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2) else not.

Lets find slope of all the pairs

(–2, –5) and (–7, –3)

m1 = -3 -(-5)/-7-(-2) = -3+5/-7+2

m1 = 2/-5 = -2/5

as  -2/5 is not equal to 2/5, the mentioned points do not  lie on line parallel to  line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2).

__________________________________________________

 

(–1, 1) and (–6, –1)

m2 = -1 -1)/-6-(-1) = -2/-6+1

m2 = -2/-5 = 2/5

as  2/5 is  equal to 2/5, the mentioned points do  lie on line parallel to  line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2).

_________________________________________________

 

(0, 0) and (2, 5)

m3 = 5 -0)/2-0

m3 = 5/2

as   5/2 is not equal to 2/5, the mentioned points do not lie on line parallel to  line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2).

_________________________________________________

 

(1, 0) and (6, 2)

m4 = 2 -0)/6-1

m4 = 2/5

as  m4

As m4 is  equal to 2/5, the mentioned points do  lie on line parallel to  line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2).

_________________________________________________

 

(3, 0) and (8, 2)

m5 = 2 -0)/8-3

m5 = 2/5

as  m5 is  equal to 2/5, the mentioned points do  lie on line parallel to  line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2).

______________________________________________

Thus, pair of points which lie on  lie on line parallel to  line  that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2) are

(–1, 1) and (–6, –1)

(1, 0) and (6, 2)

(3, 0) and (8, 2)

Help me with this parallelogram please :)
antoniya [11.8K]

Parallel sides of parallelogram are equal in length

\\ \sf\longmapsto AD=BC

\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x+14=9x-4

\\ \sf\longmapsto 9x-6x=14+4

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x=18

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=6

AD=6x+14=6(6)+14=36+14=50

ed is using the recipe shown to make fruit salad he wants to use 30 diced stawberries in his vruit sald how many bananas apples
Leya [2.2K]
We know that 1 serving = 4 bananas 
3 apples
6 pears
and 20 strawberrys
To get 30 we need to half 20 =10    20+10=30

That means we also needs to half the other ones
1/2 of 4 = 2   4+2=6
1/2 of 3 = 1.5 3+ 1.5=4.5
1/2 of 6 = 3  6+3=9

6 Bananas
4.5 Apples
9 Pears
30 strawberries diced.

Suppose that a cyclist began a 476
mojhsa [17]
Well, we know the cyclist left the western part going eastwards, at the same time the car left the eastern part going westwards

the distance between them is 476 miles, and they met 8.5hrs later

let's say after 8.5hrs, the cyclist has travelled "d" miles, whilst the car has travelled the slack, or 476-d, in the same 8.5hrs

we know the rate of the car is faster... so if the cyclist rate is say "r", then the car's rate is r+33.2

thus    \bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{eastbound cyclist}&d&r&8.5\\
\textit{westbound car}&476-d&r+33.2&8.5
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=8.5r\\\\
476-d=(r+33.2)8.5\\
----------\\
476-\boxed{8.5r}=(r+33.2)8.5
\end{cases}

solve for "r", to see how fast the cyclist was going

what about the car? well, the car's rate is r + 33.2
