Answer:

22 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Susan/Length of shadow = Height of sculpture/Length of Shadow of sculpture

5.5 ft/4 ft = x/16ft

Cross Multiply

4 × x = 5.5 × 16

x = 5.5 × 16/4

x = 22 ft

The height of the sculpture is 22 ft

Well's College in New York was previously an all girls school. In 2005, the college began to allow boys to enroll. By 2012, the
kogti [31]

Answer: 150 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys be x

Since there were 200 more girls than boys, the number of girls will be: = x + 200

Since the ratio of boys to girls was 3:7, this can be solved further below:

3/7 = x/x+200

Cross multiply

(7 × x) = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150

The number of boys enrolled is 150

Number of Girls will be:

= X + 200

= 150 + 200

= 350

Check: Number of boys / Number of girls

= 150/350

= 3/7

= 3:7

Here are two shapes with the same area. Work out the perimiter of the rectangle.
Lilit [14]
So, we know the perimeter is 24 cm. and the top part is the left part, (x) + 2, but remember, we need to have it be a number that, multiplied by 2, is 24. So, using this formula, the length, (top / bottom) is 7, and x = 5. Because 5 + 5 = 10, and when length is +2, it adds up to 14. 10 + 14 = 24. So, length is 7, width, (left, right) is 5.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

The factors are 3 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trinomial is x^2-6x-27.

We need to find two factors. We know that,

3(9) = 27

So,

x^2-6x-27 can be written as :

x^2+3x-9x-27 as two factors add up to get -6 and multiply to get -27.

Hence, the factors are 3 and -9.
