Answer:

  38 2/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In shadow problems, the usual assumption is that object height and shadow length are proportional.

  height/length = b/16 = 5.8/2.4 . . . . . for building height b

  b = 16(5.8/2.4) = 38 2/3

The building is 38 2/3 feet tall.

Should be 7 feet. 6+6=12 then 26-12=14, divide that by 2 (for the other two sides of the rectangle), you'll get 7 ft.

X²-10x+25=0 quadratic equation by factoring​
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  - 10x + 25 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 5x - 5x + 25 = 0 \\ x(x  -  5) - 5(x - 5) = 0 \\ (x - 5)(x - 5) = 0 \\ ( x- 5) = 0 \: or \: (x - 5) = 0 \\ x = 5 \: or \: x = 5 \\ x = 5

just olya [345]

Answer:

The term "El Nino" refers to the warming of the central and eastern tropical Pacific waters that occurs every 3 to 7 years and typically lasts from 9 to 12 months. The 1997-1998 El Nino, the strongest ever recorded, affected climate patterns worldwide. Its effect, combined with an increasing trend in annual global temperatures, made 1998 the warmest year in the 20th century. Suppose you are a climatologist. You conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the global mean temperature in the current year is different from the global mean temperature in 1998. Assume that the global mean temperature in 1998 is 14.3 degrees Celsius. You obtain a preliminary sample of temperatures from recording stations worldwide, which yields a sample mean of x bar = 15.1 degrees Celsius. Let mu denote the global mean temperature in the current year. Formulate your null and alternative hypotheses by selecting the appropriate values in the blue drop-down menus that follow.
