Answer:

33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the student to their shadow and flagpole to its shadow are equal, then you can use the proportion

5.5/3 = x/18 and cross multiply to find x.

5.5 × 18 = 99

3 × x = 3x

3x/3 = x, 99/3 = 33.

x = 33.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The value after three years is $137,027.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the home after 3 years

Generally, we have the exponential formula as follows;

y = P(1 + r)^t

where P is the original cost which is $124,400

r is the rate of increase which is 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

t is the time which is 3 years

Substituting these values;

y = 125400(1 + 0.03)^3 = $137,027.97

A rectangular garden has length and width as given by the expressions below.
Tom [10]

Answer:

P = -12xy - 56y - 42x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

                                    P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(4 - 7(3x + 4y)) + 2(3x(-2y))

P = 8 - 14(3x + 4y) + 6x(-2y)

P = 8 - 42x - 56y - 12xy

                              P = -12xy - 56y - 42x + 8
