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.

How does this polynomial identity work on numerical relationships?<br> (y + x) (ax + b)
Serggg [28]

Let us take 'a' in the place of 'y' so the equation becomes

(y+x) (ax+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u>

(a + x) (ax + b)

<u>Step 2: Proof</u>

Checking polynomial identity.

(ax+b )(x+a) = FOIL

(ax+b)(x+a)

ax^2+a^2x is the First Term in the FOIL

ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab

(ax+b)(x+a)+bx+ab is the Second Term in the FOIL

Add both expressions together from First and Second Term  

= ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab

<u>Step 3: Proof </u>

(ax+b)(x+a) = ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab

Identity is Found .

Trying with numbers now

(ax+b)(x+a) = ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab

((2*5)+8)(5+2) =(2*5^2)+(2^2*5)+(8*5)+(2*8)

((10)+8)(7) =(2*25)+(4*5)+(40)+(16)

(18)(7) =(50)+(20)+(56)

Use the picture to name one tangent<br>im gonna go to summer shcool if I don't pass​
katrin [286]
A tangent is a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point.

the answer is LM

because it is a straight line, it touches the surface of the circle, but it does NOT cross the circle at one point.

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (1,−8) and (9,2)
Len [333]

Answer: y+3=-\frac{4}{5}(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For it to bisect the segment, we need to find the midpoint.

The midpoint is \left(\frac{1+9}{2}, \frac{-8+2}{2} \right)=(5, -3)

Now, for it to be perpendicular, we need to use the fact that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

The slope of the given segment is \frac{-8-2}{1-9}=\frac{5}{4}, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -\frac{4}{5}

Thus, the equation of the line in point-slope form is \boxed{y+3=-\frac{4}{5}(x-5)}
