Answer:

70 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Larry forms a right triangle with the ground (this is one leg of a right triangle) and he is 24 inches from his shadow (this is the second leg).

74 inches is the hypotenuse of the right triangle

use pythagorean theorem:  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let h = Larry's height

h^2 + 24^2 = 74^2

h^2 + 576 = 5476

h^2 = 4900

h = sq rt 4900

h = 70

Question Help A television programmer is arranging the order that five movies will be seen between the hours of 6 P.M. and 4 A.M
Mamont248 [21]
<span>During the indicated time block of 6 PM-4 AM, the movies should go as follows: Since the G rating movies needs to be shown during the first time block, it would be first at 6 pm until around 8 pm. The NC-17 movie would also need to be LAST and from 2 am to 4 am. That leaves 3 movies left to be shown from around 8 pm to 2 Am, which could be shown in 6 different ways. If we assigned EACH movie a title of A, B or C, you get these different showing possibilities- ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, and CBA. Since the first and last movies never change, they would default to the first and last positions while the rest is filled in.</span>

Which king of function best models the date in the table
attashe74 [19]
We can see that the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0) is -1 by looking at the table.

Now we just need the slope, or "m" of the linear equation.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)  in this case:

m=(-2--1)/(1-0)

m=-1/1

m=-1

Now that we know m and b of y=mx+b we can say the line is:

y=-x-1

So this is a linear equation, y=-x-1
