Answer:

19.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem , the Square of the distance between the top of the piece and the Shadow Is the sum of the height of the piece. and the lenght of the shadow. basically Just build a triangle with the 3 points you are given: height of the piece, lenght of the shadow and distance between the 2. so it's sqrt(13^2+15^2) = sqrt(394) =19.8 cm

AnswThe Tasty Beans Coffee House being planned for the corner of SE 12th and Main will ruin a perfectly nice neighborhood. Besides the fact that Tasty Beans already has coffee shops all over the city, it will pull business away from local coffee houses that have been here for decades. In addition, there is already a parking problem on that street, and the new business will just add to the congestion. They're planning a drive-up window, too, and that will mean a steady stream of traffic in a very high-volume area. Ask anyone walking down the street, and they'll tell you this is a bad idea. I speak for my whole neighborhood when I say, "Go away, Tasty Beans!"er:

Solve the system using the elimination method.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

x=151/64   y=9/8 z=-51/32

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y+5z- (2x-y+z)=-1-2

3y+4z=-3

2x+2y+5z- (2x+4y-3z)=-1-14

-2y+8z=-15

We have two equations 3y+4z=-3 and -2y+8z=-15 (We get it due to elimination method)

3y+4z=-3 (2)

-2y+8z=-15 (-3)

6y+8z=-6

6y-24z=45

(6y+8z)- (6y-24z)= -6-45

32z=-51

z=-51/32

3y-204/32=-3

3y= -96/32+204/32

3y=108/32

y=36/32=9/8

2x+2*9/8+5*(-51/32)=-1

2x+9/4-255/32=-1

2x+72/32-255/32=-1

2x-183/32=-32/32

2x=151/32

x=151/64

I will mark you brainliest! The value of a car decreases by 1/6 every year. What type or function represents this pattern?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When the value of something decreases by a certain factor every unit of time, instead of by a set constant, then this is called exponential decay. When the rate is constant, this is called linear decay. Hope this helps!
