A flagpole casts a shadow that is 12 ft long. A 6-ft tall man casts a shadow

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]2 years ago

Answer:

9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are proportional.

Let the height of the flag pole be x feet.

\frac{x}{6}  =  \frac{12}{8}

We multiply both sides by 6 to get:

x =  \frac{12}{8}  \times 6

We reduce the fraction to get:

x =  \frac{3}{2}  \times 6

We now simplify

x = 3 \times 3

x = 9ft

It takes 40 minutes for 8 people to paint 4 walls. How many minutes does it take 19people to paint 7 walls?
Slav-nsk [51]
Hey hey!


56 would be the answer.

WAIT, don’t leave just yet! You have to show at least some work! You CANT learn if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Here’s how I got the answer:

7:4 walls = 10:8 people =M:40 minutes
M = (7/4) / (10/8) x 40
M = 56 minutes.

If that helped let me know by hitting the thanks button or reply with any help you need.

Have a FABULOUS DAYYY!

18 and 19 please ;D!!
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

18.

∠2 = 40

∠3 = 140

∠4 =140

19.

∠1 = 134

∠2 = 46

∠3 = 134

∠4 = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

18. Using vertical angle theorem, 1 is equal to 2 and 3 is equal to 4. Therefore 2 is equal to 40 degrees. Then since 2 and 3 are supplementary adjacent angles or a linear pair, they equal 180 when combined. 180-40 equals 140. 3 and 4 are also vertical angles so 3 = 4 and they are both 140.

19. Angles 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 are vertical angles because they are directly across from each other and share the same bisectors. You can use what you know about special angle pairs to find the measure of each angle because since 1 & 3 are vertical angles and 2 & 4 are also vertical angles, 1 is equal to 3 and 2 is equal to 4. So, since the angle formed at the right is angle 2, we can confirm that angle 4 is equal to it and therefore angles 2 and 4  are 46 degrees. Then since angles 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 are linear pairs, we can say that angle 1 + angle 2 is equal to 180 and the same for angles 3 & 4. So subtract 180 - 46 and you get 134. Therefore angles 1 and 3 are equal to 134 degrees.

Here are two paint mixtures: • 3 cups of white and 4 cups of blue. • 6 cups of white and 8 cups of blue. Both mixtures make the
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The mixture that is an equivalent ratio is:

1.5 white 2 blue

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Mixtures of the same color because they are in equivalent ratios:

3 cups of white and 4 cups of blue: equivalent ratio = 0.75: 1 (75%) since 3/4 = 75%

6 cups of white and 8 cups of blue. equivalent ratio = 0.75: 1 (75%) since 6/8 = 75%

Other mixtures:

5 cups white 6 blue: equivalent ratio = 0.83: 1 (83%) since 5/6 = 83%

1 white 1 1/2 blue: equivalent ratio = 0.67: 1 (67%) since 1/1.5 = 67%

4 white 3 blue: equivalent ratio = 1: 75 (1.33%) since 4/3 = 1.33%

1.5 white 2 blue: equivalent ratio = 0.75: 1 (75%) since 1.5/2 = 75%

Therefore, the mixture with equivalent ratio as the initial mixtures is 1.5 while 2 blue.
