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.

kenny6666 [7]
6x + 15 is the formula for the triangle's perimeter.
Let x represent the triangle's bottom.
The length of one side of a triangle equals 12 times the length of the triangle's bottom, so:
4x + 12 is the side length.
The last side of the triangle is three times longer than the bottom, resulting in:
x + 3 is the length of a side.
Triangle perimeter = x + (4x + 12) + (x + 3)
6x + 15 = Perimeter
6x + 15 is the formula for the triangle's perimeter.

Three data sets show the number of text messages sent by Jada, Diego, and Lin over the past 6 days as well as the mean number of
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Jada: 1

Diego: 4/3

Lin: 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find MAD, you calculate the mean of the data sets (which you were given in this case), and then find the distance of each number in the data set from the mean. You then write all the distances down, and then find the mean of THAT. Now you have your MAD.

Example (Jada)

Data set: 4,4,4,6,6,6

Mean: 5

Distances: 1,1,1,1,1,1

Mean of distances (and therefore the MAD):

(1+1+1+1+1+1) divided by 6 = 1
