Answer:

  726 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Object height and shadow length are proportional, so you have ...

  (object height)/(shadow length) = (18 ft)/(72 ft) = (dam height)/(2904 ft)

Then the dam height is ...

  dam height = (2904 ft)(18/72) = 726 ft

Hoover Dam is 726 feet high.

In 1905 the Colorado River flooded parts of Nevada. It ruined crops, roads, and buildings. Water covered the land for an entire year. To stop the flooding, the construction of the Hoover Dam began. The dam controlled the river and brought water to the cities. It was completed in 1935. It took 5,000 workers and 5 years to build. Hoover Dam is 1,244 feet long and 726 feet high.

Answer:

y=3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

you find the 3 (the slope) by seeing how much the y value grows

the -2 is the value of the y-intercept (more clear on a graph) but it's when the point is (0,__) so you subtract 3 from 1.
