Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves using ratios to compare side lengths in similar triangles.

136/34=x/1.5

136/34*1.5=x/1.5*1.5

136/34*1.5=x

x=6

The man is 6 feet tall

Describe whether the equation y-3x=7 is a function
Gala2k [10]

y - 3x = 7

can be written as

y = 3x + 7

For every value of x there is a unique value of y.  For example when x = 0 y = 3(0) + 7 = 7

Yes it is a function.

In particular it is a one-to-one function.

Which of the following coordinates is a solution to the linear equation?
Dima020 [189]
Right this is pretty simple all you do is sub the points to the equation given.
So first try the first point (2,-1) in y=-3x+7
==> -1=-3(2)+7
==>-1=1 this is not equal therefore not the right points

Then try (1,10)
==>10=-3(1)+7
==>10=4 this is incorrect therefore not the right points

Next try (3,-2)
==>-2=-3(3)+7
==>-2=-2 this is equal therefore this is the coordinates to the linear equation.

Finally try the last points to make sure you are correct.
==> -8=-3(-5)+7
==>-8=22 this is incorrect also.

Therefore the only coordinates that satisfies the equation is (3,-2)

7. Solve the formula M=2P+3Q for the variable Q.
vichka [17]
The answer is <span>Q=(M−2P)/3
</span>
<span>M = 2P + 3Q

Subtract 2P from both sides:
M - 2P = 2P + 3Q - 2P
M - 2P = 3Q

Divide both sides by 3:
(M - 2P)/3 = 3Q/3
(M - 2P)/3 = Q</span>

Using a simulator at space​ camp, you practice landing your individual spaceship on landing platforms that have different shapes
Mila [183]

The Area of the platform is 33m²

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says, the height of vertex from the base (D from AB) is 7m whereas the height of left vertex from the base (E from AB) is 4m

Thus it means the height of the Δ DCE (DX)= 7-4 ⇒3m

Since the platform is five-sided, the figure can be broken down into constituting parts

  1. Parallelogram ║ABCE
  2. Δ DCE

Are of the figure= Area of ║ABCE+ area Δ DCE

Area of ║ABCE= breadth * height

= 6*4 ⇒24m ²

Area Δ DCE= ½*(base)(height)

Putting the value of base is 6m and height as 3m

Area Δ DCE= ½*6*3

=9m ²

Total area= 24+9= 33m ²
