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

Mrs. Leonard is planting a flower garden. She has 18 marigolds for every 6 petunias.
tangare [24]

Answer:

B) 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's layout the information given firstly.

Marigolds= 18

Petunias= 6

In ratios, you need to follow the arrangement, for say in this question they say petunias go first, so the ratio should involve the value 6 first.

Therefore, it will give you, 6:18.

Now, you need to simplify this ratio. Just simplify it as it were, a fraction. Divide each number by a common factor, in this case, it is 6. Once you've done that, you'll get 1:3.

Hope this helped.
