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

What is the first step to finding the sum of 2/7 &amp; 1/4 without a calculator?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

first get a common denominator  by multiplying 7 and 4 to get  28

28 is our common denominator here.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to add the fractions   2/7 and 1/4

(2/7) * (4/4)   and    (1/4) * (7/7)

(2/7) * (4/4)   +   (1/4) * (7/7) =  8/28  + 7/28 = 15/28

If M is the Midpoint of AB, then solve for x find the unknown measures the given segments.
Leto [7]

Answer:

If M is midpoint of AB, then

AM=MB

4x-5= 2x+11

2x=16

x=8

AM= 4x-5

=4(8)-5

=32-5

=27

BM=2x+11

=2(8)+11

=16+11

=27

Hope it helps:-)

Answer: Choice [D] - "power of a power" ✅

Step-by-step explanation:

Hii, do you need to know which law you should use to simplify \sf\bigg(x^4\bigg)^9?

No problem!

The law we will use here is "power of a power".

What "power of powers" means is we raise a power to a power, which is exactly what we do here: We raise x^4 to the power of 9. To simplify our expression, we multiply the powers. (\boldsymbol{4\cdot9})

So the right answer is: Choice [D] - "Power of a power"

The simplified answer is \LARGE\boldsymbol{x^{4\cdot9}=x^{36}}

Voila! There's our answer, cheers!
