Answer:

The approximate height is 0.251 inches close to the​ statue's actual height of 143 ​feet, 9 inches from heel to top of​ head .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The length of the​ statue's right arm is 54 feet.

The​ student's right arm is 2 feet long and her height is 5 and one third feet.

To Find : How close is the approximate height to the​ statue's actual height of 143 ​feet, 9 inches from heel to top of​ head?

Solution:

Let the height of the statue be x

The length of the​ statue's right arm is 54 feet.

The​ student's right arm is 2 feet long

Ratio of their arms length = 54:2

Height of girl = 5\frac{1}{3} =\frac{16}{3}

Ratio of their heights = x: \frac{16}{3}

So, \frac{x}{\frac{16}{3}}=\frac{54}{2}

x=\frac{16}{3} \times \frac{54}{2}

x=8 \times 18

x=144

So, the approximate height is 144 feet.

Actual height of statue is 143 ​feet, 9 inches = 143 + 9 \times 0.0833333=143.749

So, the difference between approximate height and actual height:

= 144-143.749

=0.251

Hence the approximate height is 0.251 inches close to the​ statue's actual height of 143 ​feet, 9 inches from heel to top of​ head .

Assuming that the dimensions are proportional, we have the following relationship:

\frac{x}{5+\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{54}{2}

Where,

x: approximate height of the statue

Clearing the value of x we have:

x=\frac{54}{2}(5+\frac{1}{3})

x = 144

On the other hand, we know that:

1feet = 12inches

Then, in relative terms, the relationship between the heights of the statue is:

\frac{144-(143+\frac{9}{12}}{143+\frac{9}{12}}(100)

1.7%

Answer:

The approximate height of the statue is:

x = 144

The difference with respect to the actual height is 1.7%.

(2x +1) -7 (-6x+9) what is the answer if using the Distributive Property?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:  a(b +c) = a*b + a*c

(2x + 1) - 7(-6x + 9) = (2x + 1) + (-7)*(-6x) + (-7)*9

                              = 2x + 1 + 42x - 63  {Combine like terms}

                              = 2x + 42x + 1 - 63

                              = 44x - 62

F(x)=x²-3x-2 then f(-1) is given by​
evablogger [386]

Answer:

f(-1) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate this function at x = -1, replace "x" in the equation with (-1) (you should use the parentheses as indicated here).

f(x)=x²-3x-2 becomes

f(-1)=(-1)² - 3(-1) -2, or

f(-1) = 1 + 3 - 2, or

f(-1) = 2
