Answer: 7 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

A 7 feet stop sign creates a shadow that is 2 feet long. At the same time a utility pole creates a shadow that is 2 feet long. How tall is the utility pole.

Length of shadow created by 7 feet stop sign = 2 feets

Length of shadow created by utility pole = 2 feets

Length of utility pole =?

Since the length of shadow created by a body is dependent on the height of the body and the position of the sun.

Since the length of shadow are similar = 2 feets

The height of the utility pole and the sign post would be the same.

Hence, height of utility pole will be 7 feets

Ronald spins a spinner that has 10 sections numbered from 1 to 10. What is the probability that the spinner lands on a prime num
vladimir1956 [14]
Prime number is a whole number that has no possible divisors that 1 and itself. Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5.7.11,13,17,19,23 and 29. From 1 to 10 there are 3 prime numbers: 3,5 and 7. 
The probability can be calculated as the ratio between the number of "good" events and the total number of possible events. There are three "good" events (3,5 or 7) and 10 total events, so the probability that the spinner lands on a prime number is: 3/10. So, none of the given options is true.

These are the two rules for when a and b are positive numbers.
a + b = b + a
a - b ≠ b -a
a - b = -b + a

For example:

5.71 + 2.84 = 2.84 + 5.71
8.55 = 8.55

5.71 - 2.84 ≠ 2.84 - 5.71
2.87 ≠ -2.87

5.71 - 2.84 = -2.84 + 5.71
2.87 = 2.87



These are the rules for when a and b are negative numbers.
a + b = b + a
a - b = b + a

For example,

-6.2 + (-3.96) = -3.96 + (-6.2)
-6.2 - 3.96 = -3.96 - 6.2
-10.16 = -10.16

-6.2 - (3.96) = -3.96 + (-6.2)
-10.16 = -10.16



Also, if a is a positive number, while b is a negative number, we see these rules:
a + b = a - b
a - b = a + b

For example,

5.71 + (-6.2) = 5.71 - 6.2
-0.49 = -0.49

5.71 - (-6.2) = 5.71 + 6.2
11.91 = 11.91


Also, if a is a negative number while b is a positive number, then these rules will apply:
a + b = b - a
a - b = -b - a

For example,

-3.96 + 2.84 = 2.84 - 3.96
-1.12 = <span>-1.12
</span>
-3.96 - 2.84 = -2.84 - 3.96
-6.8 = -6.8


I hope this helps! :)
