Answer:

x = 114 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of height to shadow length will be identical

x/72 = 76/48

x = 76(72)/48 114 inches

Answer:

  114 inches, or 9 ft 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The chair's shadow is 72/48 = 1.5 times as long as the lifeguard's shadow. Since shadow length is presumed proportional to height, we expect the lifeguard chair to be 1.5 times as tall as the lifeguard.

  1.5(76 in) = 114 in = 9 ft 6 in . . . height of lifeguard chair

Answer:

k(x) = -40

i(x) = -15

n(x) = 71

d(x) = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is exactly the same deal as the most recent question you asked.

"Evaluate each function for x = 8". In other words, this is saying, calculate the result for each function, replace x with 8. So, that means for every function, you are going to replace x with 8.

k(x) = -5x turns into k(x) = -5(8)

Then you just solve, -5(8) = -40

Since I have answered this question similarly, I ask that you go back to the answer and detailed explanation I gave you earlier.

The base of a parallelogram is 18 inches longer than three times the height. The area of the parallelogram is 216 square inches.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the base

h represents the height

area of the parallelogram = base * height = 216 square inches

From the question'

b = 18 + 3h

Slot in the value of b

216 = (18 + 3h) * h

expand

216 = 18h + 3h^2

subtract 216 from both sides

0 = 18h + 3h^2 - 216

rearrange

3h^2 + 18h - 216 = 0

divide through by 3

h^2 + 6h - 72 = 0

Now, lets solve!

h^2 + 6h - 12h - 72 = 0

h( h + 6 ) - 12(h + 6) = 0

(h - 12) (h + 6) = 0

h - 12 = 0

h = 12

and

h + 6 = 0

h = - 6

Taking the positive value of h

Hence, the height is 12 inches

Lets check

when h = 12 inches

Area of the parallelogram = 18* 12 = 216 square inches     .... correct

when h = -6inches

A = 18 * -6 ≠  216 square inches

So height is 12 inches
