Answer:

The shadow of the pole is 1.2 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

A little girl standing next to a telephone pole at 10 AM.

From the above question

Height of the girl = 4'6" tall = 4 feet and 6 inches tall

We convert to feet

= 12 inches = 1 foot

6 inches = x

Cross Multiply

12 × x = 6 × 1

x = 6/12 = 1/2 = 0.5 feet

Hence, the total height of the girl =

4 feet + 0.5 feet = 4.5 feet

The height of the telephone pole = 40 feet high.

The shadow of the telephone pole

= 8' 32 foot shadow

= 8 feet, 32 inches

We convert the inches to feet

12 inches = 1 foot

32 inches = x

Cross Multiply

12 × x = 32 × 1

x = 32/12 = 8/3 = 2.67 feet

Total length of the pole = 8 feet+ 2.67 feet = 10.67 feet

how long is a little girl shadow?

This is calculated using proportion

Shadow/Height

Shadow of the girl = x

Hence:

Shadow of the girl/Height of the girl = Shadow of the pole/Height of the pole

x/4.5 feet = 10.67 feet/40 feet

Cross Multiply

40 × x= 4.5 × 10.67

x = 4.5 × 10.67/40

x = 1.200375 feet

Approximately = 1.2 feet

Hence, the shadow of the pole is 1.2 feet long

Find the two points on the line to be graphed 4x+4y=-9
Blababa [14]
4x+4y=-9
first change into yintercept form
y=-x-9/4
 to find yintercept let x=0
y=-0-9/4
y=-9/4 or -2.25
to find xintercept let y=0
0=-x-9/4
x=-9/4
so the x and y coordinates are -2.25 and -2.25 respectively

When can you use the square roots of perfect squares to determine the perfect roots of decimals ?
Alika [10]
If you want to find the decimal value of a square root, you can use the 2 closest perfect squares to them.

Example

Approximate the value of sqrt20

Pick the 2 closest perfect squares, one before and one after 20:

16 and 25.

So, the square root of 20 has to be between 4 and 5.

Since 20 is closer to 16 than it is to 25,

We can estimate the decimal value of sqrt20 to be around 4.4
