Answer: The height of the building is 50.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio between the height of the object and the casted shadow must be equal for all the objects, as the angle at which the source if light impacts them is the same.

For the person, we know that it is 5.8ft tall, and the shadow is 3.2ft long.

The ratio will be: 5.8ft/3.2ft = 1.8125

Now, if H is the height of the building, and the shadow that the building casts is 28ft, we must have:

H/28ft = 1.8125

Now we can solve this for H.

H = 1.8125*28ft = 50.75 ft

Then the height of the building is 50.75 feet.

6 times a number is 27 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.
Verdich [7]

Let x = your number.

6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.

0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor

0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero

(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.

x = -3. This is the negative solution.

(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.

x = 9. This is the positive solution.

Help me with the right answer
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

9x - y = 26  ---------------(I)

9x + y = 28 ---------------(II)

9x - y = 26

9x = 26 + y

Substitute 9x = 26 + y in equation (II)

26 + y + y = 28               {add like terms}

26 + 2y = 28             {subtract 26 from both sides}

         2y = 28 - 26

        2y = 2    {divide both sides by 2}

           y = 2/2

y = 1

Substitute y =1 in equation (I)

9x - 1 = 26

9x = 26 + 1

9x = 27

x = 27/9

x = 3

x = 3

y = 1

What is the equation of the line h Th ya has a y intercept of (0,-3) and passes through the point (-9,-9)
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The line equation is given as: 3 y = 2 x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Y intercept   is at point ( 0.-3)

So, at x = 0, y = -3

or, C  = -3

Also, the point on the equation line is (x,y)  = (-9,-9)

Now, by <u>SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM</u> of a line equation,we get:

y = m x + C   :  m  = slope of line  ......... (1)

So, substituting the values of C and (x,y) , we get:

-9  = m (-9)  + (-3)  

or, -9 + 3  = - 9 m

or, m =  -6/-9  = 2/3

or, m = 2/3

Now, substitute the value of m back in to the line equation (1)

y = m x + C   \implies  y = (\frac{2}{3}) x - 3\\\implies 3y = 2x - 9

Hence, the line equation is given as: 3 y = 2 x - 9.
