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

Find the annual percentage rate of change for the population of Oregon. In 2000, there were 4.8
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The annual percentage rate of change for the population of Oregon is of 8.125%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total percentage change:

Change multiplied by 100 and divided by the initial value.

Change: 8.7 - 4.8 = 3.9 million

Initial value: 4.8

Percentage change: 3.9*100/4.8 = 81.25%

Annual percentage rate of change

81.25% during 10 years(from 2000 to 2010).

So, per year

81.25%/10 = 8.125%

The annual percentage rate of change for the population of Oregon is of 8.125%.

What is 0.6 as a fraction in simplest form
Illusion [34]

we know that


step 1

multiply 0.6 by \frac{10}{10}

so

0.6*\frac{10}{10} =\frac{6}{10}


step 2

Divide numerator and denominator by 2


\frac{\frac{6}{2}}{\frac{10}{2}} =\frac{3}{5}

therefore


the answer is

\frac{3}{5}

Help please and thank you

First, we can see that there are four sides, and none of these equation contradict each other, so it is safe to say that <em>this is a quadrilateral</em>.

Second, all of the equations have the slope of <em>0 or undefined</em>, so it is a rectangle.

Lastly, the four points of intersection shows us that the side lengths are <em>3 and 5</em> units, so the area of it is 15 units².
