Set up a ratio of height/ shadow

2.7/1.56 = x/38.25

Cross multiply:

1.56x = 103.275

Divide both sides by 1.56

X = 66.2

Round to nearest meter = 66

Answer: 66 meters

(a) Complete the table of values for the graph x + y = 6
djyliett [7]

Answer:

(0,6)

(1,5)

(2,4)

(3,3)

(4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this table first convert the equation to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), to do this solve for y in the equation. The slope-intercept form is y=-x+6, where -1 is the slope and 6 is the y-intercept. Then from that, you can get your first point, because you know the y-intercept is 6, therefore when x equals 0 y must be 6. Next, because the slope is -1 that means the y-value decreases by 1 every time the x-value increases by 1. So to find the rest of the y-values simply subtract 1 from the previous y-value.

Which of the following is the solution set of x2 + 8x + 12 = 0?<br> (-2.-6<br> 2.6
algol [13]

To solve this polynomial equation, we first factor the left side.

To factor x² + 8x + 12 = 0, look for factors of 12 that add to 8.

These factors are 6 and 2 so we have (x + 6)(x + 2) = 0.

So either x + 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 and solving for

x in each equation, our answer is {-6, -2}.
