Answer: The height of the building is 50.75 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio between the height of the object and the casted shadow must be equal for all the objects, as the angle at which the source if light impacts them is the same.
For the person, we know that it is 5.8ft tall, and the shadow is 3.2ft long.
The ratio will be: 5.8ft/3.2ft = 1.8125
Now, if H is the height of the building, and the shadow that the building casts is 28ft, we must have:
H/28ft = 1.8125
Now we can solve this for H.
H = 1.8125*28ft = 50.75 ft
Then the height of the building is 50.75 feet.
Answer:
1 pear = $0.75; 1 orange = $0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 3P + 4O = 4.85
(2) 3P + 10O = 8.75 Eqn (2) - Eqn (1)
3P + 10O – 3P – 4O = 8.75 – 4.85 Combine like terms
6O = 3.90 Divide each side by 6
O = $0.65 Substitute into Eqn (1)
3P + 4×0.65 = 4.85
3P + 2.60 = 4.85 Subtract 2.60 from each side
3P = 2.25 Divide each side by 3
P = $0.75
Oranges cost $0.65 each and pears are $0.75 each
Answer:
2km/m
Step-by-step explanation:
6 laps = 10km
(because 3 x 2 = 6 and double 5km as well)
Distance divide time = speed
20 mins divided by 10km = 2km per minute
Answer: Choice C) -1/3
The given line has a slope of -1/3 so anything parallel to that given line is also going to have an equal slope (of -1/3)
To find the slope of that line shown, notice how we drop down 1 unit and the move to the right 3 units when we go from the left point to the right point. Alternatively, you can use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to get the same result.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
) Nth term = F + (N - 1) x D, where F=First term, N=Number of terms, D=Common difference
6th row = 23 + (6 - 1) x -3
= 23 + (5) x -3
= 23 + (-15)
= 8 - number of boxes in the top row.
b) Sum = N/2[2F + (N - 1) x D]
= 6/2[2*23 + (6 - 1) x -3]
= 3 [46 + (5) x -3 ]
= 3 [46 + -15 ]
= 3 [ 31 ]
= 93 - total number of boxes in the entire display.
