Answer:

40 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of fence = 8 feets

Shadow of fence = 14.5 feets

Shadow of cell phone tower = 72.5 feets

Height of cell phone tower = x

Height of fence = shadow of fence

Height of tower = shadow of tower

8 feets= 14.5 feets

x feets = 72.5

Cross multiply :

(14.5 * x) = (72.5 * 8)

14.5x = 580 feets

x = 580/14.5

x = 40 feets

Hence, the height of the cell phone tower is 40 feets

An ordered pair tells us what about a system of equations ?
mash [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It may not tell you anything. You have to be careful how you think about the answer to this. An ordered pair is just that: it describes an x and y value and that is really all that it does.

However it may also be used to describe the solution to a system of equations which cross in one place. For example, if you plot

y = x + 1

y = -3x + 2

The ordered pair that gives the point where both equations equal the same thing is (0.25,1.25) The graph is shown below, and the ordered pair marks the solution.
