Answer:

The lamppost is 30 ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to draw a diagram of the problem. Refer to attachment.

Now you need to convert the measurements that are in feet to in. The 1 foot ruler is now 12 in. and the 5 foot post's shadow is now 60 in.

The next step is to create a proportion between both angles. \frac{x}{1} =\frac{60}{2}

x over 1 is simplified to x and 60 divided by 2 is just 30. So the lamppost is 30 ft tall.

Hope that helped. :)

Find a factor of 3x^2- 16x - 12​
Greeley [361]

Answer:

x= -2/3 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x²-16x-12

3x²-18x+2x-12

(3x²-18x)+(2x-12)

3x(x-6)+2(x-6)

(3x+2)(x-6)

x= -2/3 and 6

Don’t answer if you don’t know !!
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

72 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a polygon with n sides is (n−2) × 180

Since the polygon is regular, we can divide by the number of sides to find the measure of each angle (n−2) × 180 / n

Each angle is equal to 175

(n−2) × 180 / n = 175

Multiply each side by n

(n-2)180 = 175n

Distribute

180n -360 = 175n

Subtract 180n from each side

180n-180n-360 = 175n-180n

-360 = -5n

Divide each side by -5

-360/-5 =-5n/-5

72 = n

There are 72 sides

What is the linear equation for 3x+2y=62
scZoUnD [109]
<span>In this formula :

</span><span>y </span>tells us how far up the line goes
<span>x </span>tells us how far along
<span>m </span>is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is
<span>b </span>is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the<span> line properties.</span><span> We shall now graph the line </span><span> 3x+2y-62  = 0</span><span> and calculate its properties
</span>

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 31/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=31.00000

<span>  y-intercept = 62/2 = 31
</span>

When y = 0 the value of x is 62/3 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=20.66667

<span>  x-intercept = 62/3 = 20.66667

</span>

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 31.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 28.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 28.000 - 31.000 = -3.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

<span>  Slope = -3.000/2.000 = -1.500

</span><span>
1.Slope = -3.000/2.000 = -1.500 

2.x-intercept = 62/3 = 20.66667<span> 

3.y-intercept = 62/2 = 31


I got sources from a few websites so excuse if something is weird/wrong.

Question 4 of 25
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for P(58 < x < 64). We need to find the percentage to the left of the z-scores for each of these numbers. To find the z scores, use the formula:

z=\frac{x_i-\bar{x}}{\sigma}

z=\frac{58-62}{4} which gives us a z-score of -1. The percentage of numbers to the left of a z-score of -1 is .1586553

Now for the other z-score:

z=\frac{64-64}{4} which gives us a z-score of .5. The percentage of numbers to the left of a z-score of .5 is .69146246

The lower percentage subtracted from the higher gives the area in question:

.69146246 - .1586553 = .53280716, or as a percentage, 53.3%, choice A.
