Answer:

3.2ft long shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are given a ratio between the tree/shadow and woman/shadow therefore we are given 3 values and 1 unknown then we can use the Rule of Three to calculate the length of the shadow which we will refer to as x. The Rule of Three simply multiplies the diagonal values and divides by the third value in order to get the missing unknown like so...

55ft tall  <======>  32ft long shadow

5.5ft tall   <======>  x ft long shadow

(5.5 * 32) / 55 =  3.2ft long shadow

Finally, we can see that the woman's shadow would be a 3.2ft long shadow

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

4, 15, 6, 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 16 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 The GCF of 12 and 16 is 4 because when you compare the numbers that go into 12 and 16, 4 is the highest number that they both are multiples of.

A triangle is show below, what is the value of X?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

x=149

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagoras theorem dictates that a squared +b squared= c squared

in this case, c=x

51*51+140*140=x*x

2601+19600=x*x

22201=x*x

x=149

Answer: 3x+4=5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times a number: 3x

Increased by 4 then means that you are adding 4 to that number after it is multiplied: 3x+4

Is equal to 5 times the number means that you have to set the equation equal to 5x: 3x+4=5x
