A 24 feet high pole casts a shadow of 8 feet long. Divide the two

24/8 = 3

To find the nearby pole's shadow length, in which the pole is 72 feet tall, divide by 3

72/3 = 24

C. 24 feet is your answer

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: You can also solve it using ratios:

24/8 = 72/x is the ratio you will use

To solve, cross multiply

24x = 72(8)

Simplify

24x = 576

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 24 from both sides

24x/24 = 576/24

x = 576/24

x = 24

The midpoint of FG is M( -1, 3). One endpoint is F(-2,5). Find the coordinates of Endpoint G
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mid point is basically the mean of the x coordiante and the y coordinate. that means that the x coordinate in M, whihc is -1, is the mean of the x coordinate in F and G. the x coordinate in F is -2, so that means that the x coordinate og G must be 0, because 0+(-2) / 2 = -1       so -1 is the x coordinate of G.

To find the y coordinate of G, do the exact same thing. the y coordinate of M is 3, and the y coordinate of F is 5, which means that the Y coordinate of G must be 1. so the points for G are:

(-1,1)

If 25% more than a number is 325 what is 20% less than the number
Verdich [7]
Let the number be x.  Then 1.25x = 325, or x = 260.  

20% less than 260 is 0.80(260) = 208

What additional information could be used to prove ABC MQR using SAS?
Igoryamba

Answer:

To prove that ΔABC ≅ ΔMQR using SAS, we show that two sides with the intersection angle are congruent.

From the diagram, it is shown that CA is congruent to RM.

From the first option, given that m∠A = 64° and AB = MQ = 31 cm, then we have CA = RM, AB = MQ, and CAB = RMQ (i.e. m∠A = m∠M = 64°).

This shows that the first option is correct.

From the second option, given that CB = MQ = 29 cm, then we have CA = RM, CB = MQ, but ACB is not congruent to RMQ.

Thus the second option in not correct.

From the third option, m∠Q = 56° and CB ≅ RQ, then we have CA = RM, CB = RQ, ACB = 60°, but we do not know the value of MRQ.

Thus the third option is not correct.

From the fourth option, m∠R = 60° and AB ≅ MQ, then we have CA = RM, AB = MQ, RMQ = 64°, but we do not know the value of CAB.

Thus the fourth option is not correct.

From the fifth option, AB = QR = 31 cm, then we have CA = RM, AB = QR, but we do not know the value of CAB or MRQ.

Thus, the fifth option is not correct.

Therefore, the additional information that could be used to prove ΔABC ≅ ΔMQR using SAS is m∠A = 64° and AB = MQ = 31 cm
