D. about 7 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the pythagorean theorem.
You have a triangle with sides of 5 and 5, so that means the third side is:

question - A 36-foot flagpole casts a 10 3/4 foot shadow, while the hospital nearby casts a 37 5/8 foot shadow. Find the height of the hospital
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you correctly work this out the answer is:
The height of the hospital is 35 3/4 feet

Have a nice day!
Do you have a picture where I can understand it much better?
If we see an equation in the form y=mx+c (where m and c are just some numbers), but the important thing is that the left hand side is "y" and not "2y" or "3y", then the m is the slope.
So y=5x+7 has a slope of 5 (the number before the x)
And y=2x+7 has a slope of 2 (the number before the x)
So as you move from left to right, the one with greater slope will increase y value faster. Just like if you were climbing two mountains. If you went for 1 kilometre up a really steep mountain, you would be higher up than if you went for 1 kilometre up a less steep mountain.
Another way of saying this is that by changing an equation from slope 5 (steep) to slope=2 (less steep), then "It will increase at a slower rate than before"
Answer B
