<u>Answer:</u>

The length of the person’s shadow is 5.7ft

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length of the flagpole =a= 35ft

Length of the shadow of the flagpole= b=50ft

Length of the person=c= 4ft

Suppose the length of the person’s shadow is=d

According to the  rules of trigonometry

\frac{\text { Length of the flagpole }}{\text { Length of the shadow of the flagpole }}=\frac{\text { Length of the person }}{\text { Length of the person's shadow }}

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}

\frac{35}{50}=\frac{4}{d}

35d=200

d=\frac{200}{35}

d=5.7ft  

Hence, The length of the person’s shadow is 5.7ft.

Vitek1552 [10]
Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to divide the total amount of tables by the amount of students:

40 / 10 = 4

So, we need 4 tables to seat 40 students. 

Hope this helps!

HELP<br> what is the value of “ c”
Alex

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

When you match the form

... ax² + bx + c = 0

to the equation

... 3x² + 5x + 7 = 0

it is reasonable to conclude that ...

... a = 3, b = 5, c = 7.

_____

The question presumes you are familiar with the form

... ax² +bx +c = 0

which is often used as the representation of a general quadratic equation. This lets us use a, b, and c instead of specific numbers, to talk about ways of factoring, graphing, or solving equations like this.
