20 ft because the shadow would be 3/2 of the height. 9 is 3/2 of 6 so the height would be 20 bc 30 is 3/2 of 20

<span>On the one hand we know that sin(30) = 1/2. On the other hand we know that sin(A) = a/c. From these two relations we obtain that 1/2 = a/c <=> 1/2 = a/12 <=> a = 12*1/2 <=> a = 6. So the answer is D. 6cm.</span>

Set up an equation and solve the following problem.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The speed of Dave is 42 miles per hour

The speed of Kent is 46 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Dave = d = 210 miles

The time taken by Dave = t hour

The speed of Dave = s miph

<u>Again</u>

The distance cover by Kent = D = 230 miles

The time taken by Kent = T hour

The speed of Kent = S = (s + 4 ) miph

<u>For Dave</u>

Time = $\dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}$

So, t = $\dfrac{\textrm d miles}{\textrm s miph}$

Or, t = $\dfrac{\textrm 210 miles}{\textrm s miph}$

<u>For Kent</u>

Time = $\dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}$

So, T = $\dfrac{\textrm D miles}{\textrm S miph}$

Or, T = $\dfrac{\textrm 230 miles}{\textrm (s + 4) miph}$

∵ Time taken by both is same

So, t = T

Or, $\dfrac{\textrm 210 miles}{\textrm s miph}$ = $\dfrac{\textrm 230 miles}{\textrm (s + 4) miph}$

Or, 210 × (s + 4) = 230 × s

Or, 210 × s + 210 × 4 = 230 × s

Or, 210 × 4 = 230 × s -210 × s

Or, 210 × 4 = 20 × s

∴ s = $\dfrac{840}{20}$

i.e s = 42 miph

So, The speed of Dave = s = 42 miles per hour

Again

The speed of Kent = S = (s + 4 ) miph

i.e S = 42 + 4

or, S = 46 miph

So, The speed of Kent = S = 46 miles per hour

Hence,The speed of Dave is 42 miles per hour

And The speed of Kent is 46 miles per hour . Answer

Can someone please help me

QveST [7]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>m = 20</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>a = 48</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>These are the answers.</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. m/-8 = -2.5

*-8 = *-8

m = -2.5*-8

m = 2.5*8

<em><u>m = 20</u></em>

2. 7/8a = 42

*8 *8

7a = 336

/7 /7

a = 336/7

<em><u>a = 48</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Hope this helped,
