Answer:

The building is 187.5 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

A nearby person is 6 feet tall, and casts a shadow that is 8 feet long.

This means that the relation between the real height and the shadow is given by:

$\frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$

A tall building casts a shadow that is 250 feet long. How tall is the building?*

The real height is three fourths of the shadow. So

$\frac{3}{4}*250 = 187.5$

The building is 187.5 feet tall.

$\bf A) \\\\\\ \cfrac{3\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}{y}\implies \cfrac{\frac{6y}{a}}{y}\implies \cfrac{6y}{a}\cdot \cfrac{1}{y}\implies \cfrac{6}{a}\quad \otimes \\\\\\ B) \\\\\\ \cfrac{6\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}{y}\implies\cfrac{\frac{12y}{a}}{y}\implies \cfrac{12y}{a}\cdot \cfrac{1}{y}\implies \cfrac{12}{a}\quad \otimes \\\\\\ C) \\\\\\ \cfrac{6y}{\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}\implies \cfrac{6y}{1}\cdot \cfrac{a}{2y}\implies 3a\quad \otimes$

$\bf D) \\\\\\ \cfrac{12\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}{y}\implies \cfrac{\frac{24y}{a}}{y}\implies \cfrac{24y}{a}\cdot \cfrac{1}{y}\implies \cfrac{24}{a}\quad \otimes \\\\\\ E) \\\\\\ \cfrac{12y}{\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}\implies \cfrac{12y}{1}\cdot \cfrac{a}{2y}\implies 6a\quad \checkmark$

Which graph correctly solves the system of equations below? <br> y=-x^2+1 <br> y=x^2-4

KIM [24]

Red line shows
y=x^2-4 , cause it's going through point (0,-4)

So blue line shows
y= -x^2+1 Point (1,0) belong to it , moreover x factor is negative , so the arms of parabola will go down

Have nice evenig :)
