Answer:

The distance from the top of her head to the floor is 6 feet 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

In his case Juana's height is given to us with two kinds of units, feet and inches, in order to make our solution easyer we will transform her height to only inches. In 1 feet we have 12 inches, so we need to take the part of her height that is given in feet and multiply it by 12. We have:

height = 4*12 + 8 = 56 inches

Since she is in a platform that is 18 inches tall the distance from the top of her head to the floor is her height plus the height of the platform. We have:

distance = height + platform = 56 + 18 = 74 inches

We can now transform back to a mixed unit, we do that by dividing the distance by 12 that will be the "feet" part and the res of the division will be the "inches" part. We have:

distance = 74/12 = 6 feet 2 inches

The distance from the top of her head to the floor is 6 feet 2 inches.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The Answer is C: Yes, △EFG~ △KLM by SSS or SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS is for side-side-side

Both triangles have all three sides given, so the SSS similarity theorem is one way to prove these triangles are similar.

SAS is for side-angle-side

Both triangles have one angle measurement given, and two side lengths given, therefore we can also use the SAS similarity theorem to prove the two triangles are similar.  

Since both SSS and SAS work to prove the triangles are similar, the correct answer is C: Yes, △EFG~ △KLM by SSS or SAS

What values of x make the equation x(squared)+9x-22=0
kkurt [141]

Answer:

x = 2 \:  \:  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x =  - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  + 9x - 22 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  + 11x - 2x - 22 = 0 \\  x(x + 11) - 2(x + 11) = 0 \\ (x - 2)(x + 11) = 0 \\ x - 2 = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x + 11 = 0 \\ x = 2 \:  \:  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x =  - 11
