Set up ratios of height / shadow length:

8/6 = x/100

Cross multiply

6x = 800

Divide both sides by 6

X = 133.33 feet

The tower is 133.3 feet

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation (5y +6) 2= 24?

boyakko [2]

Answer:

$y=-2.18,-0.22$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation

$(5y+6)^2=24$

Take square root both sides. When ever we take square root, we include plus minus sign

$\sqrt{(5y+6)^2}=\pm\sqrt{24}\\\\5y+6=\pm2\sqrt6$

Now, subtract 6 to both sides of the equation

$5y=-6\pm2\sqrt6$

Divide both sides by 5

$y=\frac{1}{5}(-6\pm2\sqrt6)$

$y=\frac{1}{5}(-6+2\sqrt6),y=\frac{1}{5}(-6-2\sqrt6)$

In decimal we have

$y=-2.18,-0.22$

Part A: Solve –mk – 90 > 85 for m. Show your work.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A) m < -175/k and B) 3c/5 - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Add 90 to both sides. -mk > 175.

Next, divide both sides by -k. Because you divide by a negative, don't forget to reverse the sign!

m < -175/k.

B) Subtract 3c from both sides.

-5f = 55 - 3c.

Now multiply both sides by -1/5.

f = 3c/5 - 11
