Answer:

36\ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the shadow of an object in this problem is proportional to the height of the object. One can form the following ratio to describe the objects in this problem,

(height):(shadow)

As per the given problem, a (6) foot person casts a (1.7) foot shadow. Therefore, one can form the following ratio,

6:1.7

It is given that there is a lighthouse that has a shadow of (10.2) feet, one is asked to find its height. Use the parameter (x) to represent the unknown; since the ratios are related, one can form a proportion to solve for(x).

6:1.7=x:10.2

Cross products,

(1.7)(x)=(6)(10.2)

Simplify,

1.7x=61.2

Inverse operations,

1.7x=61.2

/1.7

x=36

Answer:

a) line segment

b) point

c) line

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment is made up of 2 points.

No matter where the lines intersect (doesn't have to be perpendicular), it forms a point.

A line is straight, hence the 3 collinear points.

Simplify the expression square root of 6 times the square root of 33 plus 7
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

3√(22) + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The way this is worded can be interpreted two different ways so just to cover the bases, I'll do both. I'm confident they are asking for way 1 though because it wants you to simplify the expression, not evaluate. Way 2 gives you a solution rather than an exact equation.  

<u>Number 1</u>

√(6) x √(33) + 7

= √(6 x 33) + 7

= √(198) + 7

= √(9 x 22) + 7

= 3√(22) + 7

<u>Number 2</u>

√(6) x √(33 + 7)

= √(6) x √(40)

= √(6) x (4√(10))

= 4√(60)

= 8√(15)
