Answer: 22 meters
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Draw a picture of a right triangle and label the height as 30 meters and the hypotenuse as 37 meters. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the base (the length of the shadow).
a² + b² = c²
x² + 30² = 37²
x² = 37² - 30²
x² = 1369 - 900
x² = 469
√x² = √469
x = 21.656
x ≈ 22
Answer:
y = -3/2x - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope intercept form y = mx + b to substitute the slope = -3/2 and the point (-8, -3).
y = mx + b
-3 = -3/2(-8) + b
-3 = 12 + b
-15 = b
y = -3/2x - 15
Answer:
The amount of the bill is dependent on the number of texts sent. Let y be the bill amount and x the number of texts. Then x is independent and y is dependent. This is because x can be any non-negative number, but y depends upon it. You cannot find the bill without knowing the number of text messages, right?
