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

hope this helps

What is the slope of the line on the graph?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

I think this is the answer you are looking for. (See below)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is noticed that the line is passing through many points.

The coordinates of three given points are (1,5), (-1,-1), (-1,-7)

If a line passing through two points (x1 ,y1) and (x2, y2) , the slope of the lie is defined by, m= y2 - y1/x2 - x1

The line passing through two points (-1,1) and (1,5). So the slope of the line is, m= 5 - 1 / 1 minus -1

m=4/2

Therefore, the slope of the line is 2.

Pls if this is wrong, let me know in the comments. I'm not really good at this topic in math but I hope it helps you. Sorry if it is wrong. Have a good day. :)

Solve the following system of equations. If there is no solution, write DNE in each coordinate of the
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

1) solution is y = -7

2.) DNE

3.) Solution is y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 2+3 = y + 12

Add the LHS and make y the subject of formula

5 = y + 12

Y = 5 - 12

Y = - 7

The solution of the equation is - 7

2.) 2 + 13 = 1 +8

Since there is no unknown variable and the sum of the numbers in the left hand side ( LHS ) is not equal to the sum of the numbers in the right hand side ( RHS ), it will be concluded that there is no solution in the equation.

3.) y - 7 = 2 - 11

Sum the RHS and make y the subject of formula

Y - 7 = -9

Y = -9 + 7

Y = -2

The solution of the equation is -2
