Answer:  244.95 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This scenario forms the shape of a right angled triangle with the shadow length being the triangle's length and the distance between the end of the shadow to the top of the building being the hypotenuse.

Use Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

250² = 50² + b²

62,500 = 2,500 + b²

b²= 62,500 - 2,500

b² = 60,000

b = √60,000

b= 244.95 feet

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1 10/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the fractions and get them to the same bottom number, 12.  So it would be 5 4/12 -  3 6/12.

Take 1 away from 5 to get 4 and the one you pulled would be 12/12(also equal to 1).  4  16/12 - 3  6/12 would be 1  10/12

What is the value of y when line m is parallel to line n?
kvasek [131]
Angles B and D are supplementary angles, so if B's angle is 30 degrees, then D's angle at y would be 150, since they have to add to 180.
In short, angle y = 150

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, −5) and (−1, −6)?
Virty [35]

Answer:

The slope of the line passing through the points (−3, −5) and (−1, −6) is -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } (-0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a straight line:

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

(x1, x2) and (y1, y2) : (−3, −5) and (−1, −6)

Calculating Slope (m).

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

m = \frac{ (-6) - (-5) }{ (-1) - (-3) }

m = \frac{ -6 + 5 }{ -1 + 3 }

m = -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }

we can take this a step further by finding the equation:

Now putting value of m in equation (i)

y = -0.5x + b

Calculating Y-intercept (b).

Lets choose the first point, (-3,-5) for calculating y-intercept:

y = mx + b

-5 = -0.5(-3) + b

-5 = 1.5 + b

-6.5 = b

b = -6.5

Now putting value of b in equation

y = -0.5x + -6.5
