The answer is 16.
the girls shadow is 6 feet, and the trees is 24. you get to 24 by multiplying by 4. so do the same thing for the height. if the girls height is 4, multiply by 4 to get to the trees height. 4x4 is 16.

Use completing the square to solve the equation x2 - 10x = -8.
Kay [80]

Answer:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:

x^2 - 10x = -8

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8

x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33

Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8.  Here's the process for completing the square:

1.  Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:

    (1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25

2.  Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the      constant -8:    x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or     x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

3.  Match this result to one of the given possible answers.  Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

liraira [26]

Answer:

150.51 dB

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

decibel level of sound at 161 km distance = 180 dB

d₁ = 161 km

d₂ = 4800 km

I₁ = 180 db

The formula for intensity of sound is given as:

I = 10\log(\frac{I_2}{I_1})

and the relation between intensity and distance is given as:

I ∝ \frac{1}{d^2}

or

Id² = constant

thus,

I₁d₁² = I₂d₂²

or

\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{d_1}{d_2}

therefore,

I = 10\log(\frac{d_1}{d_2})^2

or

I = 10\times2\times\log(\frac{161}{4,800})

or

I = 20 × (-1.474)

or

I = -29.49

Therefore,

the decibel level on Rodriguez Island, 4,800 km away

= 180 - 29.49

= 150.51 dB
