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

I need to know how to do this, plz explain-Which function grows at the fastest rate for increasing values of x?
saul85 [17]
If the first function is
.. h(x) = 2^x

The formula for electrical power (P, in watts) is where V is the voltage in volts and R is the resistance in ohms. For a particu
bazaltina [42]

Answer: 4 V

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for electrical power P is:

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

Where:

P=0.5 W is the water heater electrical power

V is he water heater voltage

R=32 \Omega is the electrical resistance

Isolating V:

V=\sqrt{PR}

V=\sqrt{(0.5 W)(32 \Omega)}

Hence:

V=4 V

The following are the ages (years) of 5 people in a room:
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

67 years old. (you only gave 4 people and missed out one person)

Step-by-step explanation:

take all the ages first and put the unknown (age of the person who entered the room) as x.

14, 16, 16, 13, x

all of these numbers added to together would be:

59 + x

Because the question is talking about the mean age, to find mean:

add all the values in the data (ages) and divide by the total number of values on the list. (in your case would be 6 people (following your question) but you gave only 5 people including the x).

then (59 + x) / 6 = 21

21 x 6 = 126

126 = 59 + x

x = 67

Sandy has 6 sheets of colored paper. She uses 4 sheets to make posters. She cuts the remaining paper into equal rectangles to ma
Vikki [24]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Sandy has 6 sheets of colored paper and that she uses 4 sheets to make posters. Therefore she'll have 2 sheets of coloured paper left. This is gotten by : (6 - 4) = 2 sheets.

Since each rectangle is 1/4 of a sheet of colored paper, the number of greetings card that Sandy will make will be gotten by dividing 2 by 1/4. This will be:

= 2 ÷ (1/4)

= 2 × 4

= 8

Sandy will make 8 greeting cards
